Oh boy they can be really bad- routinely out of tune by a whole tone!
To restore the honor of C-Melody saxophones:

Intonation problems with C-Melody saxes might be due to the use of mouthpieces not fitting the horn correctly. A modern mouthpiece for a vintage horn for example can cause problems; also using normal alto or tenor mouthpieces. As an instrument maker once told me: the geometry of the mouthpiece must fit the geometry of the instrument.
2 samples for the wide spectrum of tone and timbre:
"Tenor"
"Alto"
... and last but not least James Carter on C-Melody
