Love the detail of the BAs, but disliked the lack of bass impact in the W4s. Tried the W3s and am in awe. Now I need a custom with bass presence and impact similar to that found in the W3s. Am concerned if I go custom the bass will be lacking to my tastes like I found was the case in the W4s. Thoughts?

I can't remember who, but someone has the custom JH5 and the W3. It apparently has a similar sound signature.
