How many hours are people burning in the Quintet for? How does it improve? I never burned mine in, but it sounds great...should Iput an extra 100 hours on it? Any insights would help :)

I always feel like audio gear warms up after like an hour of use. With Quintet I could immediately noticr some metallic timbre but that mellowed out. It sounds really natural now, especially with spinfit cp100 tips. Currently trying them with sedna xelastec. I’ve also tried them with spinfit w1 tips but they get a little too bright for me with those.

I use Spinfit CP155 tips with the Kiwi Quintet and almost anything else.

However, the "best" tips are extremely individual of obvious reasons.
Totally agree and i have the divinus velvets on

Yeah I get your point. You can just EQ the bass and then you might have 95 % of the MMK3 sound. :L3000:
Mmmmm yes?... Kinda?... But that 5% is where a lot of the intangibles that make the Monarch really stand out live and you really can't EQ those things into the experience. The Quintets are an incredible powerhouse for the price though, and they're my top rec under 300.
