Probably a smart move, no sense in keeping 2 IEMs that check the same sort of boxes. Out of curiosity, what do you prefer about the Katana?
The midrange and the bass

The Khan is heavier down below due to the DD, and it’s mids are a bit less present and articulate than that of the Katana

Amazing treble though, definitely

Yeah that makes sense to me, I'm a treble-head so the Khan is blowing my mind.

You and me both and that is what I’m loving about the Khan. If the DD was used for the midrange and the BA for the bass I’d be so happy haha (similar to the Elysium config)

A little off the IEM topic. but @FullCircle what happened with the Noble One speakers? I've been trying to find info online, but there doesn't seem to be a lot

So if I want to get an upgrade to my Savants which would you choose?
Savant II, K10 or the M3.
All are about the same price.

I’m leaning to the K10 as I’ve always been curious and have owned the encore, katana and sage at one time or another. Love the Savants but I can only imagine that a classic like the K10 would be amazing.

I'd go with the k10 of not the k10 then take the plunge and get the khan

Our dealers didnt stock them and shipping are fairly high. That said we can certainly fill a request for a set. Starring price is 16k and the price goes up if you customized features.

As for what the speakers are comprised of. We use Scan Speak drivers

One day I hope to hear the Khanbut on your recommendation I think the K10 is next for me.

Well the Khan wasnt on the list of potential purchases.

But

If it is...

Then

The King of Kings

The M3's sound sig is way too different from that of the Savant so it's more of a sidegrade than an upgrade

Of those three, I'd pick the K10

Of the Noble lineup, I'd say both the Katana and the Encore are godmode

Thanks. I’m curious about the M3 but I’m quite sure I’ll really like the K10 so it’s a safer bet for sure.
I loved to Katana (wizard model) but had a fit issue with my left ear wherein it would keep working itself loose regardless of the tips among other things. I had a bit of that with the Savants but figured out it how to mitigate it such that I wish I had the Katana back. The Encore was a bit on the “technical” side for me but I’ve since decided that it was the source bit the iem. Again, I would love to hear them with my WM1A as I’m sure it would be a great pairing.

My Katanas also don’t fit so well, but the sound is absolutely fantastic imo. I also think think the K10 will be an amazing IEM to have :) ! I am really excited to hear them once they get the prestige treatment and the fit is improved

Also just a side note the Khan has been sold already hehe
