Has anyone here done a shootout between a Type 85 and a J48 ?

Apples and oranges. Both are great. Slightly audible differences. Not better or worse. Just a little different.

I'm partial toward the Radials. I just am. Did a show with the Countrymans (Countrymen?) last week, they sounded great. Still like them especially on bass and acoustic guitar.

Still partial to the Radials.

The newer Countryman Type 10s are the next-gen DIs from Countryman and are supposed to be the schizzle. For a good bit more money, too.
