Had a hasty a/b/c last night with Mikros 90 w/Teds UP-OCC silver cable|PM-1|K812 [on sub-par sources].
The Mikros 90 win for bass weight, slam and carry. I also prefer the overall balance of the MLs to that of the PM-1.
The Mikros 90 concede to the K812 in terms of micro-detail, transparency, soundstage volume and sense of "air", but still hold their own remarkably well, given that the MLs are closed, portable, supraaurals with a much lower price tag.
The K812 are definitely the most comfortable pair, completely liberating the ears inside those roomy chambers.
Will probably whittle down my ML accumulation to two pairs: the Spacey|Bassy Mod and Stock Pair #2.
Have one more unopened stock pair left to audition or possibly to sell sealed.
