One more thing, BTW: An RTA will tell you the SM57s cut off the freq curve at 40Hz (max low, now matter how close) and 12k-14kHz max hi. Most people who are male and over 30 can't hear these freqs anyway (probably another contro statement), so it doesn't matter, but like some good speakers that go up to 100KHz, it's the perceived harmonics that matter more than the actual sound. Listen to the JMLab Utopia series or the B&W Diamonds or KEF Studio series and you will hear the difference. Granted all of these are well w/o my price range (think a new Hyundai, minimum), but worth listening to for comparison.
