New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

  Didn't Piotr say that it was finalized, that he was just waiting now for the drivers he needs to become commercially available?

 
Last I heard, he thought he'd finalized the design, then he realized he could do even better (after his little Jazzyfi project)... so yeah, I "think" it's back to the drawing board...

No, I did not hear anything like that from him. At least he did not tell me anything like that. He told me that he may change some things in the flagship since he packed a lot of drivers in it and the flagship became big (he was telling something about breaking the fit/seal due to the jumbo size of the flagship).

 
Sounds a little like the Spiral Ear 5-Way: Only Big Ear Canals With Big Wallets Need Apply.
 
 
And one more thing...Peter told me that there might be one more product in the future from the Harmony series:D

 
A little brother? Didn't you bring some torture instruments (Bieber's last single?) to make him tell you more?

Only Peter knows what the pricing of the flagship will be:D but AFAIK it will be on pair with Hidition NT-6 rather than with SE-5 way, but everything may change.

No I didn't have any torture instruments:D I even did not know that he will have the flagship with him.

I can also confirm what tomscy2000 wrote i.e. that he also considers retuning the flagship so it sounds as awesome as Jazzyfi's reshelled and retuned Miracles.

I am darn interested in the flagship product. I love my SE5way but a little different flavor (especially not warmish sound) would be a nice in my collection. Also, silicone earpieces hell yeah.
 
Assuming I have enough room in my ears for SE5way (though just on the border) I guess piotrus's flagship would be okay too? I am not counting BAs since more is not equal better but any information about how many BAs will be in the flagship harmony product?
 
So I have quite a balanced monitor but slightly on the warmer side, if I can get another balanced monitor but slightly on the bright side, probably I won't purchase any ciem for a long while. Also, piotrus has an unquestionable talent, I would feel bad if I don't have any of his ciems. I read 'bright' word several times in the last 2 pages, I guess, I am on the right spot.

I'm waiting with baited breath for the flagship.  I'm extremely pleased with my Pro 330s so it's either Piotr's new flagship or perhaps the JH Audio Roxanne.  It all depends if Piotr's crafting and earphone that can fit in my narrower than average canals.

To my ears they sounded neutral or maybe a little bright. They definitely sounded more bright than my Cosmic Ears BA4r.

As regards the number of drivers, Peter did not want to tell me this. As far as I remember he only told me that they are 4-way, but I'm not 100% sure. Regarding second model of Harmony series I recall that he told me that it will be 6-way, but again I'm not 100% sure.

Which one will be the flagship, 6 way or 4 way one? 6 way seems to be more complex system. Anyway, I guess we have to wait until Peter makes the official announcement.

I guess everythins evolves and we will have to wait for the official information from Peter. But, I understand that the prototype which was presented at Polish Audio Show was 4-way system and the second, future model will be 6-way system. But, I can be wrong (there was a lot of people passing by in the Custom Art's room).

I've never heard Peter mentioning anything about six-way, but trust me, that's not the farthest-fetched thing we've talked about. In the end, it's not realy about more crossover points, more drivers, or more whatever. It's just how to get the best sound possible, and I think that's the goal that Peter has always strived for, which is why he's willing to experiment with different transducer types and combinations, etc.

I agree. I also don't believe more cross overs or more BA means better sound. That's why I try to keep my attention on certain products instead of.... well you can fill the blank I believe.
 
Kudos to Peter, another awesome person from Poland.

Yawn. Call me when you have a dual driver 27-way system... or when you build a time machine out of Gremlin.

I have confirmation that 6-way is not a true info:D Information on the flagship should come from Peter really soon. Oh man, if I had money to buy them I would definitely do this but unfortunately I don't have money to buy them:xf_eek: I will have to wait one year or so to buy them:D
