 I just bought my Aurisonics ASG 2.5 in Japan  a month ago for 79,000 yen.

I like to thank Andy at aurisonics for awesome services for repairing my asg1plus socket. And I will definitely be buying from them from now on . Dale I trust you with the harmony so I'll be saving my money up asap

Some early impression of the Bravo series I had the chance to try:
 
Eva: remind me the rockets with a fairly neutral sound, slightly n shaped. Wonderfull value.
 
Kicker: the warmer one without compomise too much the mids and the upper range. It is a very easy going IEM, easy to listen to, and easy on the recording. Resolution is on part with the Eva: pretty good regarding the pricing. I think it will be a very popular product. Great soundstage (all the 4 have)
 
Forte: the upper mid gets forward comparing to the Kicker. The resolution seems to me slightly better than the kicker. The bass hit harder with less mid-bass than the kicker. The upper mids and high have more emphasis, making a very energetic presentation. The electric guitare and cymbals pop out without feeling incoherency. It's a very live sound which hits hard and is very fun to listen to. There might be some fatigue on some recordings (I felt some harshness in the upper mids). Great for modern music, rock, metal etc...
 
Harmony: it felt basically like the Forte but with more forward mids with more weight, slightly less bass impact (but still a lot of it, kicker, forte and harmony are in the bass heavy catégory IEM), and slightly more open. Mids are absolutely beautifull. The best of the 4 for accoustic, vocal, classic and jazz in my opinion. The soundstage is outstanding, one of the best I heard in an IEM, period. It is so airy and coherent. There is still some kind of harshness in the upper mids on some recordings, like the Forte, but in less quantity (I think it could be easy manage with the choice of the source).
 
The Forte and Harmony are hybrids but have a wonderfull transition uppon the spectrum. They feel like there is one full range driver. Great accomplishment! In that regard I believe it is better done than ASG2.5.
 
My favorite were the Harmony because of there mids, soundstage and naturalness.
 
Comparing them to my ASG2.5, they felt more focus, with tighter bass with more speed. The bass decay of the 2.5 is slower (which is nice too), and bass are more diffuse. The trebles felt more extended, maybe more resolving on the 2.5 but some kind of separate of the rest of the spectrum. The trebles of harmony feel more coherent. The 2.5 are also more relax sounding (upper mids are slightly recessed). At the end I think those two are very different some poeple might prefer the 2.5 and some the Harmony (me I might prefer the Harmony despite I love my 2.5).
Great job Aurisonics!

I knew it , got save up money for the harmony as I was doing anyway .

  Some early impression of the Bravo series I had the chance to try:
 

Very curious about the treble on the harmony, as that's always been an area where AS has trailed competitors IMO. It's always been either too laid-back, or has some odd metallic timbral quality to it due to the usual 8-10 kHz spike. I hope the bass on Harmony is taut and controlled too. Very nice to hear about soundstage. 

 

[mochill]

the asg1plus is kinda laid back in treble for me , so if the harmony has a little more treble response and more subbass with more texture, ohhh boy I can't wait

^x2

 

[mochill]

Resolution and details are always welcome, also want to know if the size of the housing slightly smaller or is it the same size because the dynamic driver is smaller

 

[Marshal Banana]

The housing is as big as the 2.5, might be slightly bigger actually. (The Eva has a slightly lower profile however). The biggest different is the longer stem than the 2.5, the harmony stick out the ear a little bit more. On my ears, while the Bravo series fit is good, I prefer the 2.5 fit. But fit is allways a person dependent issue.

 

[mochill]

ok no problem, still going to get it

 

[mochill]

Was the housing made from plastic or metal, I guess because dynamic driver is smaller and housing is slightly bigger I can produce a grander soundstage . Really looking foward to a titanium housing flagship model as well.

 

[mejoshua]

just curious, how is the Eva compared to the Rockets? Step up? Sidegrade? Thanks!

 

[Marshal Banana]

mochill> the housing is plastic, the paint used and the finish are great.
 
mejoshua> good question, I couldn't do any direct comparison.
