Edit: I'm a moron, Lee said wouldnt, i though he said would... sorry for being dumb

Lee:
hey, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...

In that price range I'd go with a PSP-2 or 3

I wouldn't run them with a V2, but that's just me

I would agree that when run in the wrong combination, they are definitely weak in the low end.  But as I sit here and listen to a tape of a local rock band I made tonight, I can tell you that the MP-2/Mod SBM-1 combo tightens it up.  In all honesty I am pretty sure the MP-2 has a fair amount to do with it since the SBM-1 on its own (which I ran with transformers for a while) does not have as nearly a good low end.  

I think a w-mod UA-5 could have a nice effect on these mics though....

I used to run these with a dmic20. The bottom was a little weak but overall I really enjoyed the sound. I too would suggest a warm mod ua5 or possibly the mp2 combo :suds:cheers
