but for them to fall just short of the UE11 is really hard to believe...

Well, just as I'm sure people will disagree that it beats the FreQShow, I assume I would be in the great minority placing it with the UE11, but I stand by my opinion. I believe the bass of the UE11 is way overblown and overshadows the midrange. The Sleek is fully balanced, nothing overriding anything else. No minor details get lost in the shuffle. There are nuances I hear on the Sleek, even the SA6, that are very difficult to pick out on the UE11. The UE11 is fantastic for certain things, and possibly unbeatable in areas, but aren't the be all end all many make it out to be by any stretch.
