With regards to recording acoustic instruments primarily in a traditional bluegrass context, what are the advantages to using a stereo matched pair of mics? In particular, I'm asking about a stereo pair of the same mic as opposed to a pair of different microphones.
Example (using Neumann models for reference):
How would a pair of KM84's sound as opposed to a KM84 and a U47/67/87 if all other variables were the same (mic position, etc.)? Why might the matched pair be preferable in this context?
