Hi all,
Considering ordering these (FLC8S) to Europe, are there any import taxes to expect?
How do they stack up vs the Shure 535 SE or AH IM-04?
The FLC8 has more bass quality and quantity in default mode (grey-grey) compared to the SE535. Treble has much better extension and sparkle too. Mids is the only place they are more even. If you want smoother liquid mids, it's the 535. If you want a hint more detail then it's the FLC8 with gold nozzle. Overall presentation, 535 is intimate and mid-centric. FLC8 (default grey-grey-gold) is more exciting and expansive. For my tastes FLC8 any day.
Haven't the pleasure of hearing IM04.
