But those price increases were because the T3 etc contained more and different (more expensive) drivers. The T2 was just 1DD, but the T3 was 1DD+1BA. The T4 was a CNT driver.

Like at a restaurant, 1 sandwich will cost $5, but 1 sandwich + 1 fries will cost $8. And instead of the sandwich if you upgrade to 1 steak + 1 fries, it will cost $20.

So I don't think your pricing formula is really accurate. The P2 may end up being priced the same or similar as the P1. We'll just have to wait and see.

I certainly hope it wont be much more expensive than the P1. Higher price = higher competition, for them.

If I ever get my KBear Tri i3 ($169 USD), they should satisfy my need for a moderately price planar.

When did you order it?

When did you order it?

About 5 weeks ago. The Tri i3 as well as my CCA CA16 order have been sitting for a couple of weeks at an international depot in the U.S.

I’ve seen others (in the U.S.) noting the same situation at other domestic, international hubs as well. I don’t know if this is a sign of the Shipping process being over burdened or a COVID-19 quarantine protocol.

Hope u get it soon man, it is smoooooth. One of my favourite sets. Needs amping though to scale to best potential. Superb soundstage at that price.

Are there any other iems that has a driver setup ( 1 DD = bass, 1 BA = mids and 1 DD = treble) similar to the Sony IER Z1R?

Having a DD for bass and DD for treble sounds very interesting.

I had a similar experiences recently. On one occasion the package made it through customs in Seattle but then sat in a warehouse in Nevada for over a week. Another time a shipment made it to a terminal in Los Angeles and stayed there for a very long time, I think it was about 2 weeks.

The most logical implementation of this design would be a coaxial 2DD+1BA. The 2DD uses a coaxial dynamic for bass and another for treble. Then add a nice midrange BA like a 29689 or 31005, a crossover, tuning and boom.

Yep. My KS2 is sitting somewhere at the port of entry and has been for a month...

If you really want something, DHL upgrades on Ali usually cost about $30, otherwise right now is a crap show for epacket and Ali standard shipping.

Thats why BQEYZ KB100 sounded so nice DD + BA + DD, Z1R formula lol..

KB1 also the same AFAIK but...
It ain't Sony unfortunately

It's interesting how inbound international shipments are treated, once they arrive into the U.S.
It would appear all of the recent hold overs in an international depot (for me, Monroe Township) are related to the USPS' modus operandi
USPS

It's like having a trebuchets from China to your door, when you keep the entire shipping process within one company.
DHL
"Shipment on hold" is probably due to the storm, no storm, "Isaiah"
