First, is this the thread?

Coming back to your question, my budget tops at around 1900 dollars. I have to mention that I am not listening to EDM, but to classical electronic (Tangerine Dream etc.), rock, acoustic, folk, classical music (a lot!).
I was looking deeper into the Andromeda, however, the opinions differ in line with the musical preferences of each reviewer (e.g. an EDM fan has told me that Andromeda is "lean").
The Noble Encore seems - again, according to reviews - to be more musical and and to have a higher resolution than the Andromeda. The treble also is said to be more "tamed" when compared to the Andromeda.
What I really need?
Now I am using the IE800 from Sennheiser, but I really don't like their mid section, it's too recessed and congested I would say. Someone was saying (using a nice metaphor), that listening to the IE800 is like listening in a vacuum room...
Relative to this setup, I am interested in a IEM with a more forward mid section and I am (of course) planning to use the balanced port.
Thanks a lot!
