Which IEMs should I review the Klipsch IMAGE against?

[Asr]

I recently decided to stop writing reviews for first StereoMojo and now Head-Fi, but after some further contemplation, I've decided to go a little further before ending it all - with two more future reviews, one of them for the Klipsch IMAGE. I like Klipsch, and I like the IMAGE IEMs too. I think these IEMs deserve a full-length review from me before I toss in my hat.

With that in mind, I thought I would poll Head-Fi to ask which other IEM you guys want to see it compared against. There are way too many IEM-related posts for me to sift through so I'll just put it to a mass vote. I intend to go with the most popular IEM.

Also I will not consider a third IEM to throw in so please don't ask for that.

And my ER-4, I hope you mean the ER-4S and not the P

Hehehe, things are very equalled between the Etys and Triple.fis. I'd like better the Triple.fi since they're one of my most likely candidates and it'd be interesting to know if the Klipsch could be a better choice in some regards, but I have some experience with the Etys, so comparison would be worth too.
I'm afraid you'll have to write a three IEMs review hehehe

I voted for the ER-4, also hoping that you would use the S model rather than the P.

I think a detailed IEM review would be great, especially for people who haven't bought a good pair before. Unfortunately, for ER-4 owners, I don't think there are many of us who would dump them in favor of anything in the same price bracket, regardless of the outcome of such a review. If the review pitted the Klipsch against the ER-4S and the Klipsch came out on top, that's what might be interesting for those still sitting on the fence with a purchasing decision.

ER-4 of course, they have very similar shapes. Almost suspiciously similar shapes....

The Triple.fi are currently the reference for universal IEMs out of everything I tried. I vote for them.

If, for example, you chose to compare Images vs Triple Fi - it could(would) be even more interesting if you used both a tubey amp (eg. Xin Reference), and a more typically SS-sounding amp (eg. perhaps a 2Move, Qables, or Tomahawk) so you see what happens to either 'phone.

Honestly I should have voted for triple.fi, but I just voted for Westone 3 for amusement.

ER4s' treble and bass response just make everything sound warm in comparison.

Stax SR-001 MkII

The Sleek Audio SA6 would be my preference -- pitting the newest bigshots against one another.
