My locker isn't huge, but taken to the Lewitt LCT440. Quite crisp and modern.
Tracked a singer with alternative vocals with a few almost-screams recently and it did a great job!

I've been looking at getting one of those myself recently. Do you have any experience with recording full blown screams with it? I'm a metal guy, and as usual I cant find a single sound demo of how it sounds through screams.
Then again, I've read a lot of stellar reviews for it, so I figure it'll probably be great no matter what I record with it
Not metal calibre screams I'm afraid, but it handled the pseudo-screamo/post hardcore vibe that this vocalist was doing very well.
I think it'd handle a lot of modern metal well!
It really depends on the voice and the style of vocal being recorded; I have four that get used regularly: a c-12 clone (stellar), a 47 clone (pearlman), or either the sm7 or re20.
I'm hoping more people post here because I'm currently shopping for a new condenser mic for vocals. I've been using the mic that came with my Scarlett 2i2. Surprisingly, I don't hate the results I'm getting, but I'd like to try something a bit higher quality. Which 47 clone are you using OP?
I bounce between a 441-U, SM7, and KSM44A, and occasionally 635A.
It’s pretty amazing how far EQ matching can get these sounding similar. The lil 635A kicks ass as a vocal mic after taming its mids
