Default [solved] Need a vocal mic - SM57 AKGD7 Senn e854 , or ...

I'm interested in getting a vocal microphone.

I've been using a USB- Blue Yeti (3 capsule condenser) but not having good results.The Blue Yeti is giving me some very harsh sounds with super mega high freqs that I need to deal with major EQ surgery

I tend to sing vocals where I exhale the sounds out, often need to sing close to the mic, because I'm almost whisper-singing, have a bit of a nasal tone, don't do many live gigs, and don't have a good recording room (i.e. my living room with some background noise).


What else?

I may be using it to sing in bars or other venue, but that's not the main purpose. I just want to record vocals at home.

I may want to record an acoustic guitar (unplugged).

I'll be plugging in Samson GT active monitors: 16-bit 44.1kHz/48kHz
Stereo RCA and 1/8-inch aux input, two mic and instrument/line inputs along with gain control, clip LED, and two 1/8-inch stereo headphone outputs with independent level controls. Plus, Samson includes a 2-position switch for no-latency directs mono and stereo monitoring.

In my price range I'm thinking of something like:

SM57
AKGD7
Senn e854

Perhaps another?

What say you?

Thanks.
