It's for those ultra-rich in Singapore. The King Arthur is a status symbol more than anything with an IEM that expensive...

Excited to hear what the Wraith sounds like though. New EE always gets me excited!
So when Crazy Rich Asians 2 comes out, they will all be wearing King Arthurs? With even more custom faceplates?

All I can say is I’ve only heard a version of one of them, and it isn’t quite like anything EE’s done before. Take that as you wish. :wink:

I like the sound of that. Their flagships have been quite different. With the departure of Zeus, I'm looking for something new as well. Perfect timing, or as @Devon Higgins and the Empire team put it "just as planned"

i'm sure they'll be a VERY different tuning (maybe the valkyrie will be closer to the LX, if anything), but if you ordered the LX recently enough (and didn't pay for rush shipping), you may be able to get that switched over...

Helpful as always on that matter :) thank you Sir.

Incorrigible : I catched myself several times in the last 24 hours thinking about the design for my custom Wraith. Oh man...this hobby is just about the limit.

Along with Deezel, I heard an early prototype of one of the EE models and my jaw actually dropped. It was unlike any IEM I have ever heard, and I own over 35 CIEMs. That being said it was an early version, but I think we are all in for a very pleasant surprise.

If you have just purchased an LX, I definitely would not worry about my LX, the LX is an incredible IEM as well, and I would never consider replacing it in my collection even if I had to limit my collection to my top 3 CIEMS.

At the end of the day this all leads to one inevitable fact : my wallet's gonna bleed again. Nice....

EE hp seems to be off right now. I guess they are updating their product line :)......now everything happens very swiftly. Thinking of spending 3k so soon makes me feel dizzy, i think i pass out....

Edit: nope, no new product line yet on the EE site..

For those who are thinking about the Massdrop Zeus XlV, mine just arrived and is being burned in. Looks nice, slightly smaller than my XR, the color is nice, the sound (so far) is close to what my XR delivers (in X). The cable, however, had to go. I replaced it within five minutes for an Ares ll balanced, which made a big difference. The stock cable might be nice with a warmer DAP, but hybrids don't work for me with the Zeus/SPKSS combo. For $1K, a very good deal indeed. I'm having my Ares made into an 8-wire with a PSquared plug and I expect very nice things after about 50 hours.
