1. Canary (weird, i know...but i love them....for now)
2. Legend X // Trinity brass (different, but can't decide)
3. Phantom (still one of my heroes, but....)
4. Erlkönig (4 different sigs are a bit confusing, too heavy housing to my liking)
5. Flamenco
6. Zombie
7. Solaris
8. Andromeda
9. VE8 (perhaps they should be on top.....but, what do i know)
10. IE800S
Canary is good eh? Haha. Very underrated, seems most people have written AAW off.

Not just "good", outstanding would be the more adequate adjective here....

Paired with Cleo or Leo2 the Canary really is a stunner.

Sure! The Hyla CE-5 has cleaner, more musical bass and it somehow does this with still providing very deep bass extension. Mids are similar, but the CE-5 has more sparkle in the upper treble regions thanks to its Piezoelectric tweeter.

Any recommendations on TOTL iems for edm? budget is around 1400, but can bleed upwards if it's worth it.
currently looking at
Prophile 8
Encore ( though I hear this is a bit bass light, and I'm a big fan of sub bass)
Zeus XR
EE LX
JH Lola

I would scratch Prophile 8 and Zeus XR from your list. Instead have a look at Hyla CE-5 or Hyla TE5B.

I listen to a lot of EDM and love how my Solaris performs with it. It's more balanced than bass heavy but it pounds when called upon.

I'd definitely recommend the Canary for edm ! Perfect tuning for this genre.

to me the Solaris was bass light. love the staging and the detail, but, from what I've tried, I'm loving the LX and the Anole VX with the bass switch on

I have not heard the others, but I have the Prophile 8 and it is fantastic.

Where does one get a CE-5 from these days?
