'Cmon let's vote!
I was an Etymotic ER4 user & fan for many years, and had no problems with it until I got more into prog-metal (Dream Theater, Tool, djent stuff) that were heavy (pun intended) on the double-kick bass drums. The Ety BA drivers struggled to keep up with the speed, and esp. when I began to apply a bit of low end EQ to do the kick drums some justice. I then tried several DD + BA combo IEMs (see my Previous list), all under $500, and realized that DD's could do the speed-bass thing, and the BA's did their jobs above that. I tried a couple DD/BA/Est IEM's but couldn't tell the difference for the $$ difference, so I've settled on DD + BA Ikko OH10, which is magical for under $200.
I voted single DD, and feel the same way when it comes to speakers.
The coherency of single-driver transducers offers a relaxed immediacy that's hard to give up once you take it for granted. Multi-drivers are better for showcasing wow-factor, but the thrill of that usally wears off.
For long listening sessions it's single drivers, no question.
Toss up between DD+BA or DD+BA+EST. Either just depends on how well its implemented. One thing that must always be present is a DD. Current favorites of each are the OG Tea and Moonlight. Followed by the Tea 2 and Up.
