Topic: Any experience with Beyer M55 mics?

I picked up a pair of them cheap after reading a couple of newsgroup postings about how they are a very "ribbon-y" sounding dynamic.  They look nice, the specs and freq. response chart look pretty good too.  Before I can use them I need to replace the DIN connectors with XLRs.  Just wondering if anyone else uses these.
