Bicmic Microphonedeals budget mics anyone?

[Yelemusic]

Hi everybody,
I'm new here and I've already got a question
Thing is, I'm looking for a pair of budget small diaphragm mics, and so I stumbled across these mics by the Swedish company microphonedeals.com

They do seem a good bang for the buck, but it's kinda hard to get qualified opinions about them. I get the impression that it's a young company, which might explain that nobody has ever heard of them.

Does anybody know them, in particular those Bicmic microphones?
(I'm not yet allowed to post links, but you'll find them easily)

The search did not yield any results BTW.

Thanks for taking the time,

Greez, Yele

Gearslutz has a discussion of microphonedeals and their products. Short answer is that it's a side hobby business of a speaker designer/manufacturer, and they sell modified versions of Chinese mics with various component upgrades, capsule matching, etc.

Thanks dgatwood.

I'm just reading the thread @ gearslutz, which sounds promising so far...

I kinda like the fact that they are just "a bunch of cool guys who do what they do because they like it".
So I also tend to be more forgiving towards minore problems concerning shipping. That said, I might see it differently once I waited 3 months for my new mics to come...
