I've tested the Maven 2 with hard rock and wasn't a huge fan. It lacked bass quantity for me - it has excellent quality bass, but it's a bit shy for my preference. The Alter Ego, although a bit more $ was superior in nearly every way.Is Maven2 suitable for heavy, fast music?

Anybody tried Rn6, Clara, Mest3, Xe6, Perpetua for this progressive rock and metal.
I've listened to the Xe6 for metal - Monuments, Veil of Maya, Periphery, Angle Vivaldi, Plini, etc...first and foremost, they'll shake your fillings loose with authoritative bass. The bass is pretty amazing but I can see that it may be too much for some. The mids don't get lost in the bass though, the vocals come through well, the guitars are presented with full detail, treble is nice, clean, and incisive. I'm looking forward to spending some more time with them at CJ NYC. I'm very curious about the Claras too.Anybody tried Rn6, Clara, Mest3, Xe6, Perpetua for this progressive rock and metal.

Huge fan of xe6 ( my fav iem set , I have them in ciem ) ;
and quite a listener of prog metal and tech metal too
I wouldn't get them (xe6) for these genres .. probably rn6 neither

I wrote it already...up .. read
I use xe6 ciem for many genres
given a very analogue sound and a not-so-wide soundstage , and a 'textured solid brick' like bass.., for my ears tech metal or prog really isn't their fav choice
They fare well for 80, 90, eletronic, edm, jazz, atmospheric, world rap classical solos analogue/acoustic like music...etc..
Not in particular for metal IMO

I decided to get myself an ISN EBC80 for all genres of metal.
