Thank you so much kkcc! So are mids and vocals warmer on the Parterre then? That's what I'm most interested in.

Interesting thanks again kkcc. If it has warmer vocals than the F111 then it probably a bit too warm for me. The F111 is at my limit for midbass emphasis. Also I wonder why it sounds smoother. Less treble presence?
i finally heard the F111 yesterday , i don't find the parterre has less treble presence . i was surprised that treble of parterre and F111 is pretty similar to each other but the parterre has slightly thinner treble than the f111 , more bass on parterre but still far to become a bass heavy iem such as 334 , the overall sound is smoother on the parterre but not as smooth as the 334
note : i used cable 003 with f111 and 001 with parterre
Have anyone heard the UE900 before? How does it compare to the Parterre?
@kkcc : I decided to let go my TG334 and keep the F111 because my ears can not stand the sound of the bass that comes from 334, but with F111 I still missed the airy sounds and the spectacular imaging from TG334, do you think parterre will suited for me?

It sounds promising as airy/imaging/resolution for Parterre are mostly on par with 334. Tho I'm not sure if you'd still find the Parterre bass too much. While less than 334, it is still significantly more than 111. I see you're using DX100 which should already helped with not further emphasising 334's midbass. I'm guessing you're really looking for fast tight bass with short decay and would strongly recommend you to listen for yourself first. You might still find Parterre's bass not exactly what you're looking for.
I've been using the Twag v3 to help control some of the loose mid bass in the 334 and help extend its sub-bass and treble. Not sure if you're into cables but would be worth demo'ing if you have access to one either at local stores or in local meets. Maybe also 000 or other silver/silver coated cables.
Compared to the Parterre, UE900 has much more bloated mid bass and much more subbass. Mids are more veiled and treble less transparent. Overall UE900 extracts a lot less details and have a narrower soundstage (both width and depth). My comment is based on the stock black cable and is NOT and A/B but based on overall impression.
Thanks for the comparison kkcc. I actually liked the UE900 but the only thing that bothered me was that vocals can be quite recessed at times.
