Which Audixes did you try, the 1290 Micro Mics?
While I've not made any direct comparison, I didn't find the Audix thin or scratchy at all. I probably wouldn't use them as a soloist's spot for a top performer, two of the tests I did were during third-rate university choir concerts...
Nice opportunites to test new gear...
Actually, the mic (1290 HC) did sound rather pleasant on the flute (the concert even featured three different sizes of flutes within one piece), no trace of harshness or shrillness even with the piccolo.
I'm not sure whether I'd see the need to buy more of these at the retail price, but this one is nice to have ready when a really small mic is required and the sound should not be compromised.
