I have an opportunity to get a Mini-Me at a good price. My current mics are the Josephson/MBHO's and the Oktava MC012's. I don't currently have any recordings with any of these combinations.
Does anyone see any problems with this set-up?
My thinking is... if I get the Mini-Me I can eventually get microphones that match better in the future if these combinations aren't the best.
i think the oktavas would sound bloated as hell through the minime...

I don't know if I'd state it quite so strongly, but yeah - I don't see the Oktava > MMe combo as especially complimentary.
MBHO > MMe on the other hand, yeah - the MBHOs are a little thin/bright (not a bad thing, necessarily) and I think would benefit from the warmth and color of the MMe.
MBHO and the mini-me will sound great
I have a good buddy who runs 603a/200>mme, I have some great tapes from him. In fact, has yet to pull a bad one, fob or ts. The mbhos really benefit from the slightly tubby low end of the mme, run mic in. The nice mbho high end comes through. good combo.
Great news.
Thanks for the input guys.
yep, id go mbho>mme too chuck
ive been studying up on the mbho's, might purchase some soon, def. go with them, the tapes i have with mme or v2>mme smoke
i have taped a few shows 603/ka200n > mme and i really like this combination. however, last week i ran the mp-2 in front of the minime and i think it sounds even better than straight mme. i can give you a login to my server if you want to check out some samples. PM me if you are interested.

while the minime sounds okay run as a standalone box it really shines when you throw a pre in front and run line in.
I have run the mp-2 and MBHO's before, though not with a mini-me (ran the mini with my schoeps), I didn't much care for the way the bottom end sounded with the mp-2 and I would think the mini-me would just make it even more tubby...but then again, I could be wrong.
line in the minime is noticeably less tubby....
good point
