Today we live in a world of linear transmisson and super hifi from 1- 100Khz ...... In the 50th and 60th in Germany we had the industrial norm DIN 45500 which says that Hifi means 40-12.5kHz . The working range of the "state of the art" Neumann U67 in 1960 was 30-16Khz with the available ingredients !!! Today we build microphones from 20-20Khz and higher and talk about the warmth of the old tube models. I think its easy to reduce the bandwith of modern Mikrofones by EQ of the DAW´s to the range from 30 Hz (100Hz with bass cut ) up to 16Khz by reducing the highs from 14kHz on and lift the presences around 9khz a wee bit controlled by ear. So we can use each cheap modern tube or FET microfone to get a warm and transparent sound . I do it in this way and with compressor ( the only studio tool in the 60th ) I can get nearly the same warm , full and rich sound . Unfortunatly I do not have the voice of Frankie boy......
