Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm in the US now and I see no sign of me flying across the Atlantic ocean in a blue moon
As for me defending the IE8 against the JVC, I intend it as an opinion testifying to IE8's untapped potential that many won't or can't release. Since I didn't hear any other IEMs there's no credential to me comparing them, I can however listen to tone generator/frequency sweep/songs with low bass (10-50hz) and note that IE8 do indeed reach low, as for the mid-bass hump it depends on fit/tips/etc. whether it overshadows/colors the sub-bass, the same old rhetoric all over again
As for treble, IE8 extend to 20khz easily (at least in my special case and with max bass dial) and no veil to hinder the clarity and detail better treble provide (drums as one such example), quite similar to the headroom graph that basically shows that IE8's high extension is a smoother version of ER4S' (if there are other sites providing different graphs, please post the link
).
