I grew up on two-mic recordings, from the standpoint of recordings I played on and recordings I made.
My first mentor, when I was in high school, used a pair of Sonys in an A-B setup, going into an Ampex deck.
Soon after, I bought a pair of AKG D202E mics, and ran them into a Roberts (Akai) deck.
Later, when I studied at IHEM, I was initially disappointed that they didn't have a multi-mic/multi-track system for me to use. Wow, was I wrong! (Although, John Curl was working on the design of a channel strip/mixer.) A pair of Schoeps going into a Quellet/Curl modified Stellavox Sp7, and various rooms, was PLENTY for me to learn from. I probably wouldn't have my understanding of room acoustics if I had not been forced to deal with those issues (Thank you, Bob Minor!).
My main mics today are a pair of Schoeps, although I also have a pair of vintage Altecs made by AKG.
On the issue of compression: It's not inherently bad. There are many times when a person wants to listen to something, but the noise environment isn't conducive to "real" dynamics. Some compression and limiting is helpful in those situations.
