My opinion is close mic only or room mic only are the compromises. Both combined (with emphasis on the close mic) is the best representation of speaker detail and cabinet knock/thump. Anyway the clip sounds excellent.

SM57 / E906 blend, about 50/50. Good combo for quad boxes, seems to work most of the time.
You may not notice if you're on small speakers or headphones but the clips are meatier in the low end than average. My preference is to capture the thickness and later HPF to taste. For bottom end you can cut what's there, you can't boost what's not. They're also a little darker than what would be required in a dense mix but for isolated clips I don't think searing high end is necessary - and highs can be boosted easily later depending on usage.
And for the huge reveal we've all been waiting for, B is the original.... although I'm convinced they're near identical enough for human ears. I can't tell them apart even when quickly switching between them.

Cool, what about the room mic?

I'm not sure why I care about this so much, but I've added some new ramblings to post #1 to re-open the conversation.
Maybe it's because 90% of what's discussed on this forum is subjective. This is not, unless you're an audiophile I suppose. It's soulless tech talk that doesn't really affect or influence tone. Yet here I am talking about it again - perhaps I need to get out more.
