"The M149...amazing for what source? For some female vocals, yes, though I'd prefer a Sony 800G or a C12. For male vocals, no."
Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience. I own an M149 and I'm yet to use it on female vocals. I actually prefer the TLM 103 for females and I've had some incredible results with the 149 on males. Every voice is different and a mic that's magic on one is crap on another. Gotta have a few in the cabinet.
