Hi Bob,
I'm ignorant of the finer points of exactly what is built in to any particular brand or model of mic, and I'm certainly guilty of taking stock in reviews that I consider to be more or less reputable.
As others have stated, nobody is going to re-create any vintage mic for a few hundred dollars, and these mics really need to be evaluated on a case by case basis by whomever is using them.
All I'm really saying about the Roswell Mini K47 is that it has a pleasing personality that is somewhat different in character than the normal import LDC with the exaggerated upper mid. I personally think the large majority of these bargain mics have purposefully boosted upper-mids that become a bit yawn-inducing when they are actually worked with. It's refreshing to see SOMETHING that breaks that pattern.
