I'll keep this short. As many of you may know, Futuresonics has recently updated the driver on their Atrio universals to what they call an MG7. My understanding was that they did this to address a valid criticism of past Atrio models that they lacked & clarity/detail/treble of other higher end universals. I've owned the past Atrio models & recently got my hands on the new MG7 model. I try very hard not to over-hype a new product w/o intense listening, and I'm being completely honest when I say the improvement of this driver over the past models completely caught me by surprise. These things actually sparkle; an adjective I NEVER thought I'd use when describing the Atrios. Burn in has not occurred yet, but out of the box, the Atrios now sound better to my ears than the TripleFi 10s. Bass has always been better, but now, mid-range is better, and treble/soundstage are about equal to the TF10's (head to head comparison.) I'd say the SQ has become quite close to that of the IE8's.
To anyone who was interested in past versions of the Atrios, but was turned off by the lack of detail on the high end, I VERY strongly recommend giving the new model a try.
