Nice combo
The more I read feedback, the more I think the S-EM9 need a good source to really rise up to their potential but then again it's no suprise TOTL IEMs would scale well. I have read some not so positive feedback from people who auditioned it on french forums (especially treble extension), but not necessarily with the right tips or right source.
I imagine you're running them balanced?
I had my eyes on the Angie back when I purchased the Velvet, and then the upgrade path led me to the S-EM9. I wondered how they compared to Angie, wouldn't have dared to compare to the Laylas! Quite a strong statement
But I had the SE846 for a year and a half, no contest there the S-EM9 is a much more refined beast

Well, there is only one driver but it's much bigger and it's custom spec'ed by Earsonics and similar to the Velvet's
