Thanks, I'll try thatDon’t know if this I an option for you. But if you have the skill and right tools you could maybe diy? That’s what I did with mine. Now it‘s approx 130 cm long and balanced too.

I bought the SR because I thought they'd be a great reference. I've used my SR's to check mixes, and for my ears I find the XR better. I remember when Tyll Hertsens reviewed the SR and XR he thought the XR was more neutral. Despite his review I still went for the SR, but over time switched to the XR.After over a month and a half of trying to decide between the SR/XR versions of the ER4 I think I'm going with the XR. It's really hard to decide. The SR is very accurate and all the frequencies are balanced. The XR I subjectively perceive as a little darker as well as more liquidy and smooth. If I were a mixing engineer or an audio scientist I would go with the SR all the way. For pure music listening the XR is to me a slightly more pleasant experience. YMMV.
That would be new species, ER3BI've noticed a slight clarity loss with the ER4XR, I liked the ER4SR/ER3SE more. After turning my ER3 into a ER4B it insane this was around in 1991, The detail bury's anything i owned even the ER4S/SR by 15%. Despite being the brightest the bass is still full like on the ER4S/SR.
lol, i could've said ER3P to ER3B it would make sense. Since the ER3SE is pretty much a ER4P.That would be new species, ER3B

I am anxiously waiting. I have been using er3se for several months, and just ordered er4sr. THey will come next week. I am anxious to hear them, will there be much improvement? I love the 3'sWent back to SR. XR just too dark and boomy. I kept wanting to turn the volume up because of the darkness but then it got loud so I had to turn it down again. I do think the SR is spot-on correct. This is the closest we can get to accuracy short of injecting the digital 1's and 0's straight into the brain. If the sound is too bright it's because the mix is bright.
Blu-ray movies are underrated when it comes to evaluating audio. Here's why:
1) The mixes are grade A top notch. They mix it to be played on very expensive movie theater speakers. The engineers also know lots of people will be listening to them at home on their home theater systems. Contrast this with modern music where engineers know it will be played in the car, on the train, on $5 earbuds that came with the phone, etc.
2) Movie budgets are bigger, and the mixes are engineered by fewer but larger and more experienced studios. Contrast this with music where you have hundreds of studios all over the world with people of varying levels of experience.
So with this in mind, mixes have NEVER come off as bright to me while watching blu-rays. Everything sounds correct and in proportion. Explosions, gunfire, flames are present, rich and meaty. This is why I also think a flat frequency response is the correct response instead of boosted bass. If it were true that movie sound engineers mixed audio with equipment that had a bass boost, then the low end would be lacking when listening to them on the SR and I didn't find that to be the case at all.
I've never heard the 3's. Not sure where you ordered from but Amazon has one of the best return policies/processes. From the graphs the two look very similar. I believe they use basically the same driver. I think the reason for the FR difference is that the 3's have lower impedance.I am anxiously waiting.

I'll let you know what I hear when I have both in hand. Some reviews say that 3 vs 4 are almost indistinguishable. However I have chatted with other users who have both, and I hear them say there is no confusion between 3 and 4. 4 is noticeable clearer and has more dynamics than 3 or 2. Would never confuse 3 vs 4. 4 is the end game. If you change to 4, you would never go back. I will let you know what I hear.I've never heard the 3's.
