Or gun blue for a more balanced mids and treble and more treble than gold ^^

 
Indeed. I like both, but lately I've been finding the gold to have that something extra, that magic liquid in the mids. I like the airy treble in the gun-blue but the gold keeps drawing me in.

To be fair, I got my Delta for about $100 in the Kickstarter campaign and I think it has excellent value. It might not compare quite as well to the $350 FLC8s, but that is sort of expected. It is more of a matter of perspective..

Or none for a more detailed sound.

It's the most analytical "filter"

One week owner of FLC8S here. After trying out many different filter combinations I always find myself going back to the stock grey-grey-gold configuration. It provides the most balanced sound with really sweet mids, and using any other combinations either made the bass too intrusive or the treble too sharp. At its stock configuration it is simply one of the best IEMs I have ever heard, regardless of price (having heard many TOTL universals). That said, this will probably keep me happy for a long time, as I no longer have any desire to upgrade.

Haha nice! Interesting that you find the grey-grey-gold better than the grey-red-gold. Shall try the stock config again, you're making me curious

I'm curious. How does the mids of FLC sound to you? It is similar or way different than the ATH CK100's mids?

Just shows how drastic people's preferences are, and how well the FLC8S can cater to those preferences.

The grey-red-gold is great too but it has just a little too much sub bass for my taste. Though if I'm in the mood for more bass, the red filter does an awesome job at it. That's the beauty of FLC8S, being able to change the sound to satisfy any cravings at any time.

While they are both similar in mid forwardness (with the gold filter), the FLCs have a much more natural tonality and higher resolution. The CK100's tonality is pretty unnatural and takes some getting used to (typical AT coloration). The FLC's naturalness makes it easy to immediately appreciate the mids and it reveals micro details I have never heard in CK100. The FLC has basically replaced the CK100 for me, as it beats the CK100 in its own game and then some.

Haha very true. Just tried the grey-grey-gold again. A little too little sub bass for my taste 

 so back to grey-red-gold. To each his own!

I do like the AT house sound though. Well I guess I would stop considering the CK100 then =D Thanks for your insight .

Does anyone know if there will be a sale on the FLC8S? I saw that LMUE had a sale on black friday, and that there has been chatter about a sale coming soon on these? Would love to try them out.

Two days ago I wrote LMUE to ask if they were going to offer any special discount in next days.
They answered me they do not have it in mind.
 
They have a 5% coupon code in their FAQ section.
