Yes, a Lambo makes you nauseous just sitting in it because it's so dang uncomfortable, whereas you actually have to take flight in a fighter jet before getting sick.

Yes, "destroy" as in he's never heard truly outstanding speakers in a room without room treatments, so he's making an overgeneralization to make a point that he cannot support.

Different experience. My Headphones are more detailed than my speakers and more intimate but the speakers have more soundstage/reality sound. I actually like the headphones better at this moment but if I had a dedicated room an a lot of extra cash to upgrade stuff a bit that may change. You seem to get more for headphones for the price and my headphone setup is more expensive than the speakers so multiply that to get an equivalent speaker set up.

Not to put too precise a refutation on what you said...

But


Absolute and utter horse****.


I've got no room treatment. I'd wage my speaker rig in musical combat, cripplingly under-amped though it is, against any IEM. Or any headphone. Or any other speaker rig I've heard.

You saying a fighter jet is comfortable? I beg to differ.

I can.

I knew when I started this thread that it would end up down the drain. I guess there is not enough people on there that have both top tier iem's and high-end towers.

Now that's a proper reply..Nice style. Nothing is absolute for all.

High end IEM's are easier to get and very little is needed to get the best fidelity from them. They make "carefull" listening and monitoring a piece of cake.
When you enter the High-End full-size speaker world, you dont just get a small box in the mail and plug it in. A dedicated room with only your audio equipment is recommended. That room needs to seal you from any possible outside noises, so if you have your own house and not an apartment you have it made.
For now I prefer to listen to my IEM's because it completely isolates the outside noises and I dont have to worry about if the people arround me like the music I listen to.
My future plans are to have a dedicated HIgh-end sound room where I can listen to and enjoy my music coming from Speakers as I do right now with IEM's.

I sort of feel like with iem's in my ears, I am on-stage with the band. While listing to speakers, I feel like I have front row seats to the show.

When you say high end speakers, it does not really say much because it is a system and may even include the room itself. I've heard a very high end system play a drum set that was very close to a real live drum set, the kick drums were really impressive, however I could still tell that it was straining.

Best of luck to you! I had the perfect set up in 2 rooms...And then, I got divorced. Well, I don't have the rooms anymore.

I have been doing some auditions at local shops and have just wondered how the 13pro's compared to some of the Focal utopia series and the Wilson watt puppy lines. I really do not know the difference since I have never heard a custom iem. I have only heard the triplefi and the 6i's.

I feel the same way. It seems that there's a different experience between the two, and they each have their own style.
