So you've got it so pleased for you. 🙏😎 Report if that means the Titan is toast. 😀
I won't judge until after plenty of burn in.

The only thing I can say for sure is that ONE of them will be sold.

Speaking of tips I got myself the Pentaconn Coreir Brass few months ago and they are really the best I have tried so far and tend to elevate all aspects of sound with every iem I used them with. Though haven't tried the velvets yet, although they have been on my AliExpress basket for a while.
Those look interesting. I'll give em a try I can see or imagine that those brass inserts preserve the soundwave. I really am astounded at the difference these velvets are making with the Xelentos. The shift isn't as dramatic on the EDP but it is noticeable. You should give them a go!

Well the Titans are very open sounding, like an open back over-ear headphone.
At least this is my perception. Bass is audiophile bass, very textured, not a MEXT vibrating bass.
Maybe a bit addition towards that direction would be perfect if it didn't threw the delicate auditory equilibrium off balance.
It's an elegant audiophile sound presentation, fitting many genres.
A tad bright for my treble sensitive ears even with black/black combo though.
Not a hint of sibilance of course, but in long sessions I become aware of more treble than I can metabolize.
So I'll probably have to explore a bit here the upper filter options but I would hate to lose any detail because of this.
Anyone who understands this and has Titan please give me a shortcut to the 'best' filter here...

Red bottom and green top sound the best for my Titan.

Don't forget, black upper is for 2nd most treble, after blue. You may want to try red, "purple", or green upper.

I wouldn't say it is a big step from Avalon level.
But a step up it is. As others mentioned here (@paggio), Avalon lost part of its treble performance
(which makes these models so special) after burn in. This is not the case with Titan.
I was saying s few posts back that I found the treble to be fine with the Avalon but with a subsequent session I realised the music I was listening to at that time had particularly clear / loud cymbals in the tracks which were clear as a bell.
With other albums I found the cymbals to be more in the background of the mix and
over all in general to be more soft in presentation than hard (hard as in wooden stick hitting brass!)
I dont find this an issue in any way though. I dont catch myself not hearing the cymbals in the sense that im noticing a problem or anything missing but if i am reminded and listen out for it then I hear it
End of the day though I have a special TOTL type of experience when listening to the Avalon especially the more organic, natural the music / instruments are the more they shine
Seems the naming fits the sounds of each quite well - The softer more dreamy (Kingdom of ) Avalon and the majestic Titan :)
