I've done recordings with these and they were great for live electro/ acoustic
music, but
no experience doing ambient work. The company has big reputation in China, and
they
are very successful in the UK. They make mic capsules for other labels
including at least
one very famous european brand. Their own name is less well known. Personally,
I
would take a chance.
