I can't wait to someday to get a pair of Studio4 to go with my DP-X1 balanced.

RSMs fit me now, for the most part!
These are much bassier than I would expect for a flat-response 'reference' IEM, but I don't mind that as I listen to a lot of electronic music. I can definitely imagine some people saying it has too much bass for their preferences though.
On another note, they are gorgeous! Their service is also amazing.

Welcome to the Alclair family! You must have newer version of RSM Quads.

Can you confirm wheter yours is the new or old 4 driver?
I agree though that the old RSM is quite a bit too bassy for reference. Not only the elevated bass, the decay is somewhat long for BA. I prefer to think RSM as a fun sounding customs.

I'm sure these are RSMs and not the new 4 driver; it's got two bores rather then three
You have two resistors (or what it is) inside the shell. My RSM Quads only one. But mine are like three years old.

I owned the Alclair Spires and the sound doesn't even come close to the Andromedas

I like my RSMs better then the Spires but the Studio4 are a step above.

I felt the RSM was too bassy for my tastes; definitely not in the field of a "neutral monitor sound" -- is the Studio4 similar in bass quantity?

There is more bass impact and better clarity. I use my RSMs with the Onkyo DPX1 which has the Sabre DAC which is not warm so they balance each other out. I like some bass as the treble can come very fatiguing after a short period.

Has anyone had experience with the Alclair Spire or Inearz Nirvana?

This is a long shot, but has anybody heard a universal that has a similar sound signature to the RSM? Somebody on another forum suggested the Grado GR10, but I have fit issues with that. I really liked the sound of the RSM, but I need a universal. Thanks in advance.
