I have owned Ue triplefi 10's for about 5 years. Love them but I have small ears and they can get very uncomfortable for long listening periods to the point where I wore my hd598 most of the time for a while because of this despite not liking them as much. My friend suggested the j3x pro's but if I am going to invest that much I want a pair that will blow me away and love for many many years even if I have to pay more for them.
A little about me. I listen to a lot of classic rock, pink floyd, Doobie brothers, Beatles and such. Also love smashing pumkins, Radiohead, Depeche Mode and a lot of 80's non hair metal music.
My friend suggested the jh16v2 pro's but he is a sound engineer and I think he likes it a little more neutral than me. I used to use alesis studio one monitors, loved the separation and detail butt they could be quite harsh and got a pair of Denton wharfdale anniversary ed bookshelf speakers to replace them. Like the sound signature better, do miss some of the detail and separation though. Anyways.
I keep coming back to the jerry harvey lola's. The big natural and silky plus warm sound, sounds amazing (in theory no dealers anywhere near where I live). My friend says the signature series are for "audiophiles" and he doesn't like any of them. My only reservation is in reviews the lola's appear to lose some speed, separation, AMD detail in comparison to their other ciems. But wonder if it would still be a vast improvement in all three areas compared to my triple fi 10's? Any advise would be appreciated
