Any release date yet for the kiwi Quartets?

I asked on the Hifigo Discord, and they just said this month. Kinda like that meme Soon*, but we'll see.

Aful 8 rep told me they should be done with their first batch pretty soon.

Got told by one that helped in the retuning of western version if P8 (from the original Band 8) that it would be launched with a price that will be very good. This was a few months ago, might be another good performance contender not costing way to much.

Got told by one that helped in the retuning of western version if P8 (from the original Band 8) that it would be launched with a price around 300. This was a few months ago, might be another good performance contender not costing way to much.

Ohh nice, I thought it'd be closer to 400. Fantastic.

It was not set in stone, he just got the estimate just so I do not get backlash here.

Glad to hear you are enjoying them. I'm getting one of each color cause why not lol. I sold my legato and figured it would be a fun set to get.

I am really enjoying them. I switched the cable from the stock copper cable to the NiceHCK BlackCat, but I thought it made them just a bit too bassy, so I switched to the Tripowin Zoe, the copper + silver + gold cable which I think is the best cable Tripowin makes (I got about 10 Tripowin cables!!!), and I love it. Less bass, but crispier highs. I removed them from my Orchestra Lite's, but I just bought another one on Amazon, so i'll replace it in 2 days. The Z300 can kick out the bass when needed. I'm sure you will like it a lot? Fun set for sure.

There's some details that I agree with TDM on his review, and there's some I don't necessarily agree with. I like his reviews though. I enjoy his "organic" take on the review. Now where do I diverge? I think he's right on female vocals, and the bass quantity, but I disagree on the bass not being punchy. I think if you listen to speed metal, black metal, death metal, and thrash, like I do, you definitely pick out which drivers have punchy bass, due to the rapid fire kick drum/bass drum responsiveness, and the bass in the Z300 is punchy and fast. No way the Cadenza is faster. The Cadenza is asleep at the wheel with the bass response. The other thing is that due to the relaxed nature of the upper mids and treble of the Cadenza, it has a perceived lack of resolution and detail retrieval, which ears like @AmericanSpirit have mentioned, as well as a few others. I think the Cadenza does present female vocals better than the Z300, and I also think the stage is wider, but the stage and imaging of the Z300 is more holographic, and spacing is much better. You get a more clear midrange and things just seem better spaced between instruments on the Z300 than the Cadenza. I think the same issues that affect the Orchestra Lite also affect the Cadenza. The Z300 is just airier, has a more natural tonality, and shows it's technicalities more, though if you're looking for a more relaxed, "mature" listen, with more weighty character, then the Cadenza will be a better choice at $35.00.

You could use a thin cyanoacrylate. That would wick into crack and stabilize shell from further cracking. Obviously don't apply it by the bucketful, you sure as hell don't want it wicking into the switches or drivers! It polymerizes to an acrylic resin very similar to what's used in 3D printed shells. Use a non-blooming one if you don't want to risk blooming disfiguring the outside of the shell. You can also get black CA glues which might produce a better cosmetic result. Apply a very small drop with a wire or nylon filament (broom or brush bristle). Breathing onto the surface to provide a little moisture will help catalyze it . Let it cure and scrape any excess off with a sharp blade. That's safer than wiping excess away. All at your own risk, of course. Good luck!

Appreciate the response. Let me try this out at my own risk though!

They really want to stay as far from SA6II price as possible, don’t they. But then they are right next to Blessing 3 finger crossed for another interesting release.

Not too long ago, I said I was looking for IEMs the break the barrier of technical performance of kilobuck. I think both SA6II and B3 have done just that. Grab any of these and a beefy amp, and you are pretty much “there”.

Phew!! Finally caught up my 136 pages (and around additional 10s pages everyday on this thread) from my 1 or 1 and half month abstain.
This thread is crazy fun and most active thread (and poisonous as well)
TLDR, interested in KZ PR2, a budget planar with nice tuning.
Guess it will be better buy than Blon Z300?
The upcoming kiwi ears Forteza also interesting. Kiwi ears have great house tuning too.
Blessings 3 also seems interesting.
