Hello there,
I own the Thieaudio Monarch MKII and the Moondrop Variations.
While I am very happy with both of them I am looking for something kinda in the middle of those two sound signature wise.

The Monarch are almost perfect timbre wise but sometimes I feel the bass bleeds a bit too much into the lower mids. Like a bit bloated.
The bass and subbass on the Variations is perfect for me but I would like them a tad warmer. They are awesome for electronic music (especially Hardstyle) but on brighter songs with female vocals (a lot of J-Pop) it sometimes is a bit too much and the vocals seem too thin.
I guess what I am saying I would like to have that clean but shaking Bass of the Variations with the mids and treble of the Monarch if that makes sense.

Has anyone heard both and knows something in the middle?
Price is kinda secondary but I would like to have it around 1k (or lower of course) but definitely under 2k.
