I may stick with atlas and see how new phantom series turns out. That low end of atlas is addicting

No IEM is "sibilant"
Music can contain sibilance - and for that you can blame the guys who organised the recording, and how it was mastered. An IEM can mask, portray honestly, or accentuate areas of sibilance.
Sibilance also occurs in different areas of the frequency band for each of us - our trigger point will differ due to our own physical make-up.
The nice thing about the FLC8S is that you can tone individual frequencies to help mask sibilant areas - although I would prefer top simply use EQ for the tracks or albums I know are sibilant, or even use de-essing software and permanently fix those tracks/albums.
Got the silver cable and finnaly a cable that shows this IEM full potential. Great difference from tighter, more defined bass, to cleaner, more refined treble. Well worth the €€€. Looks like I got an FLC9.
True , Atlas lacks some instrument separation and also not sibilance prone as 8s! . Cheaper 130,- USD. No worry Forrest! Keep on! ljokerl, Paulo, Nick etc. are great reviews! With lot of experience. I'm an average user with my own taste - since 40 years. Never use EQ in portable music listening - preferably sell the IEM - as did with 8s. Peace!
Right, bud. Atlas is great value for money.

just scored a P1 for $170, cancelled flc8 order (for now, will try at some point im sure but will wait for used ones to pop up)agreed. depends on the sound signature and build quality you desire. as for me the flc8s do indeed has wider soundstage and depth. Imaging and details retrieval are better to a certain extent. Atlas just impresses me with the build quality. If you want best of both worlds, Pinnacle P1.
I guess I am in the minority. I was pretty disappointed with the Delta. Big mid bass hump, rolled off sub bass and shout upper mids to my ear. For me flc8s kills the Delta, no question.

You are not the only one mate.. I feel the same as well. But I do like the Delta's Gold filter. That sparkle though..
