Title: Review of 'Audix OM5' mic's

Has anyone used these? Are these an ok mid-price range set of mic's? What setting/setup did you use them with? Is that a reasonable price?

As much of a review as you can give is very appreciated!

yeah, that's a reasonable price, but if you are intending to use these as a stereo pair to record concerts, these are not the kind of mics you want.
the OM5 is a dynamic hypercard vocal mic, much like a shure beta 58.

I was thinking more of micing an amp(or 2 or 3) on a single channel. Would it fit in that instance? The frequency range seems to be within the range of an electric/bass signal.

sure, for mic'ing a guitar or bass cabinet, these would work.
