Just when I got VERY excited about my M9s, what should arrive but Thie Audio Monarchs. What. Yes, I did order them. I will have lots of fun breaking in these two TOTL IEMs in the next two weeks. THESE are the last IEMs I am buying in 2020!! I Swear !!
Nice!
I have to say the M9 have grown tremendously on me and are now my clear favorite in the collection.
The Monarch sounds very interesting!
I am really curious how it will compare to the M9. I recently got the Moondrop Blessing 2 and while the tuning is undoubtedly very good, they sound somewhat rougher and grittier, more "digital" than the M9, which combine detail and resolution with a smoothness and clarity that allows me to enjoy the music considerably more.
I only recently became aware that Crinacle is doing all his comparisons with simple sources like the BTR5 and am trying to figure out how that compares to what I am hearing with my CHORD Mojo.
