Is there any leak of a company working on a 4 Driver universal IEM, and if not, who do you think is going to be the first company to come out with one....and why?

Klipsch did it, Sleek Audio did it too, why not UE or Shure? They are, after all, in a better position as the current market leaders. If they do the right thing, I can foreseen their next generation IEM will have less transducers but better SQ than their currently top-end models. |

It will be marketed to the music industry types and the current ue10/11 will trickle down to the consumer sector in the form of a universal fit. The current Triple fis will be in the medium slot where the current Super fi Pro is. Reiterating, the current UE10/11 will merge into one new top rung universal fit displacing the Triple fi Pro as the top set. The 4D set will be the new top customs marketed to the entertainment industry. |

Most people buy UE10/11 because TFPRO is perhaps the worst fitting IEM ever made. Also, TFPRO = SE530 in SQ and TFPRO is 95% of what UE10 is. With UE, customs are for the fit factor more than sound IMHO. |
