Just curious - have you tried using multiple mics on a single speaker as opposed to a single mic on multiple speakers? And the comment(s) about the room sound has merit too. check this out http://royerlabs.com/devildriver.html

Yes, I have tried putting the mics on a single speaker.  In fact, that's what I've been doing the last few days and it doesn't sound too bad.  I'll check out the link you provided, altlhough, I probably have already looked at it ... when I bought my Royer 121 I did extensive reading and looked for tips on how to place that mic.

Wow, I stand corrected...I haven't seen those pics.  I have those mics and will give that a try.  I'm very curious to hear how that setup sounds...thanks.  http://royerlabs.com/devildriver.html
 

This may have been said before, but I found for my tones, I got the best sound about a foot away from the grill with a 58.   I don't have any really good Condensors, though.
 
Its funny that so many people say that the 57 and 58 are equal, but I found my 58 to be a bit more mellow (less "brittle") than my 57

take the windscreen off of the 58, and then compare them.

I usually use AmpliTube, but if I have to mic an amp I like an Audix i5.
