At the moment they are more musical and more fun. Still need a few more hours, but I do think Avalons will be more musical and detailed than PB in the end. Also I heard no bothersome peaks on the Avalon, and as for realism, the Avalons are way above the Elan. Thats my take at this stage. Still got a few hours to go on the Burn...
Thanks a lot, that sounds very promising!!
To be honest i normally would? I Bob's a stand up guy i really like him , but this is one of the situations where i don't want to be the one that asks, i mean what's he gonna say? I think he's got enough in his plate with Stingray, i really don't think it's the time to cause him even more stress!
OK I just asked. I am happy with the staging and realism either way, but I’d like to know whether I’m at last hearing IMR bone conduction, or still not.
Yeah I get ya didn't realize you had DM! Leave it with me ill drop him a pleasant email just asking out of curiosity? I let you know when he replies?
I already did, got a prompt answer and some chat with the man, the dm has 2 dd, the 6mm has a conduction motor attached for better contact with the shells in order to increase efficiency (opened mine yesterday and can corroborate, it's the barrel in the left corner, no i won't open it again to take pictures, I already scratched the screws enough in the name of curiosity) the elan has a different kind with what it seems like 2 squares in the same position without the same advantage. It does sound different, elan has a super agressive conduction while dm has a similar effect without the dizzyness that elan gave me, that's why I love bc but cannot stand it that much. Dm I can wear for hours. Elan after 40 minutes I'm already a bit hazed
Top man i take my hat off to ya
that's what i thought the bone conduction was within the 6mm couplin. I'm still considering DM every minute of every day? The SOG is SO F-ING AMAZING the DM must be something so special?you're getting me really excited for the Ace now!Top man i take my hat off to ya
The SOG is still astonishing me each & every day! I manly use it for electronic music but i was listening to some Dire Straits today and Mr knofla's guitar sounded as good or even better than Opus Mia & Mest mk2! I just cannot believe Bob got this sound from ONE dynamic driver.
I cannot wait for Ace, i have a real hunch its gonna be one of the most Speacial monitors Bob has made? It has that same dynamic as SOG the same Planar as Elysium and the same sonion bone conduction as Avalon and Ace & Avalon are the only IMR monitors to use this new Sonion bone conduction!

The bigger one on the left is DM I guess? Regarding the screws, I guess imr is just a small workshop where things are done manually, the assembly I mean, I can Imagine Bob ordering these batches of screws and different components of the chassis etc.. where many components are actually used in many models!Speaking of screws. Aren't the Avalon and Dark Matter supposed to have different colored screws? Guess which one is which?
So no wonder if a couple of screws got mixed up. How do they compare so far btw?
I'm tempted to buy Avalon hehehe one of my fears is to confuse em hahaha but yeah, they seem identical. If I end up doing so ill have to mark em in some waySpeaking of screws. Aren't the Avalon and Dark Matter supposed to have different colored screws? Guess which one is which?
Sorry to pour cold water. Both my SOR and SOG still changed after 300h. It only after 350~400h that i stop noticing the changes.
