Am I assuming correctly Sultan (as compared to Ragnar) has warmer, fuller but slower bass, warmer lower mids and mids, and being slightly attenuated up top?

And yet Kublai Khan took it! My favorite new IEM of the year too. Well earned!

I am happy either way. The Ghengis Khan & the Khan line hold a special place with me.
We aren't done yet, there is still more to yet to come.

Yay! An IEM with the bass of KK, mids of Sultan, and treble of VR coming soon!

Thing is I love the bass, mids and treble of the KKs so I'm good!

Caring about both your sanity and bank account I'd say it's best to stay away from Sultan's mids in that case!
Just don't do it. Do, not. Not even with a 10 foot pole.drftr

Sure fire way to get to me to do something is to tell me to stay away.

Yep! That's what your mum told me!
No, seriously now: Both KK and VR are the more audiophile IEMs here, where the focus of Sultan is much less on technicalities and much more on more acurate tonality (think neutral/warm to lush sounding, much fuller mids than KK, less analytical qualities than VR, and warmer/slower bass than both with lower resolution). Everything being a compromise Sultan is ticking more boxes for me than any other IEM and that is mostly because I value true tonality and musicality over technicalities. I take it KK and VR owners appreciate technicalities more than I do and I wouldn't recommend Sultan as a replacement at all. However, it could be a very interesting addition if you're lusting for its quite different qualities.

@FullCircle, I am ordering a Viking R after xmas, so I’m excited to be part of your family. One question, is the Magnus cable going to be sold separately, and if so, what will be the retail?
Thank you.
Thank you.
