thanks!
i decided today to try the AK T8ie mkii. from a fellow headfier.
i've already tried the Aurisonics One plus and they had the bass but not the details (imo) of the FLC 8S.
(it will be interesting to see what Forrestwei delivers with the upcoming TOTL flagship 'Celeste')
The T8iE mkii is great! Congrats on that awesome bargain price. Haven't read any comparisons with Xelento but I wouldn't complain at that price.
Yup the Celeste should make a splash when it's released... only question is when.
