I've had my pair of M300's for a few years now and love them. I was able to borrow a pair for a week which really gave me the chance to try them out. All of Michael Watt's videos on youtube where he uses them also helped make up my mind.
All the recent videos on my youtube channel use them, here is one. If you want a better audio only recording just let me know, happy to send one or post it to SoundCloud. As MikeMcKee mentioned there are lots of good options in this price range. I think I paid $1300 used for my pair on Ebay. I like that they are lower noise, have a good output, and seem to work for my tone on the guitar, which leans towards darker.

Nope just plain old Sitka and East Indian Rosewood. The top has darkened alot, I think, since I had the guitar made 12 years ago. Man, can't believe its been that long

Tone wise your recordings that I have heard have seem quite dark sounding which is why cedar came to mind (though I have not seen cedar with silking like that). Not sure why that is. It's not just the mikes. I have recording quite a bit with the same mikes. Is there something done post recording with software that would account for it, the recording space? You might post a raw recording for comparison.

I recorded Anton's first CD. He gets a very warm tone, no matter what guitar he plays, and whether you're listening to a recording or him in person. Tone is clearly in the fingers. I think his tone is lovely and perfect for the music he plays.

I agree with Doug. I think playing technique has a huge impact on the sound one gets from a guitar.

All I can tell you is I've sat in front of Anton many times while he was playing over the past decade (or 2?). This sounds like him in person.

Man Doug, has it been that long? I think I first went to Swannanoa in 2001 or something, which is where I would have met you.
Yea, I dunno Rick, I have recorded in a few nice studios and that is how I seem to sound. I think acrylic nails have improved my tone a decent amount, but other than that I have kind of stopped worrying about it. Back to the OP's question, yea the Gefells are great mics, as are a bunch of others. I guess the ideal thing to do would be to order a few different pairs and return the ones you don't like. A place like Vintage King might do that. I know for some retailers the Gefells are a special order, so they might be a bit harder to trial than say a KM-184.

I have a pair of m300's that I like a lot. I got them after Anton generously loaned me his to record my Ballads and Blues album. I made a little video comparison after borrowing a friend's 184 pair two weeks ago. Not very scientific, but I did try to keep everything the same (there was even a ruler!) and then I tried to volume match.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LuQmsNXMAQ I guess they're controversial in some circles, but I've always really liked the 184's.
