Hey guys! It's been a good year and a half since I've posted on these forums and I've grown quite a bit as far as what I've learned and listened too. I am a regular gigging drummer and I've gone through a crap load of top tier universal cans and to be honest I need to up it another step and take my first step towards having a pair of custom IEM's that I can use for stage monitoring and of course listening to music. Everything from the monster turbine to the shure se530 to the westone um3x has gone through my ears over a course of a year and a half and I've finally come to a conclusion on what I prefer as a sound signature.
I'm looking for monitors that and pretty neutral but with an emphasis on bass. Not particularly rolling bass, but punchy, and tight. I prefer a warmer signature but bright highs. Do you guys have any reccomendations? I've narrowed down my options to a few companies.

To my knowledge the livewires have had a run of bad customer service so I'm a little against it already. I know that jhaudio has an amazing reputation but I've also heard amazing things about the 1964 monitors as well and I've been emailing around with all the companies as well. As of now I'm leaning towards the 1964. The main music of choice is metal, so clarity while gigging is a huge factor. Any thoughts?
I'm also looking into purchasing a portable headphone amp. This i have no experience with so it's a pretty open field. I've heard of FiiO because of it's cheaper price but my knowledge hits a wall there.
