I was told that Gary Burton uses only his matched pair of U87. But I
suppose
it will be hard to find a matched pair of these vintage mikes and perhaps
a
little expansive (I don't play so well as this wonderful vibes player).
I thought about a pair of CMC6 Schoeps with an MK matched pair caps (OK,
it's quite expansive too...).

Neumann never sold matched pairs. The Schoeps are very nice.

As a wildcard, I'd try a pair of Beyer M-88s. A pair of Royer ribbons would
probably also sound really really good.
