i ran across them after reading a post where some guy had done an A-B test of the MSH-1s and some schoeps mk2's. the clips showed very little difference between the naiants and the schoeps, which greatly surprised me (i have owend a pair of schoeps cmc64s before, and am well aware of their capabilities). i ordered a pair of the little omnis, and they are indeed an amzing mic for the money. i paid uder $50 for a matched pair including shipping. how fun is that?
