I agree that there is a hierarchy with their CIEMs - more drivers pushes down distortion and increases headroom - the V8's feel unfettered by whatever I throw at them - the bass, while big, is nimble and doesn't smear the other frequencies. I owned the Heir 8A's - their lush signature often led to a place where the details in the lower mids/mids seemed to be glossed over (although they were really there when you focused) I enjoyed them a great deal and only sold them due to an unexpected cash crunch last year. The V8s' don't have that warm, lush presentation - although there is great coherency, the higher frequencies are very present - the details are very apparent - not smeared or congested in any way.
