So I want to know if the R-Bout 2.0 is a giant killer amp like the Monks are for buds?? It sure looks solid/rugged

  A little early for anything definitive but here is how I hear the FXA5 Pro (Dual BA) iems:
 
- Nice clean sound fantastic detail and clarity, can be described as laid back and relatively smooth
- Not bright at all, more on the neutral side of things
- soundstage is nice and spacious more wide than it is tall, with excellent depth; Holographic and 3D feeling to it, all the elements of a song have nice air between them, feels spread out
- Bass isn't emphasized at all, might be considered light by some, but its more balanced and closer to neutral with mid bass and sub bass in proportion; Tight tight tight bass - love it!
- Midrange is nicely detailed and musical
- Great instrument separation (but not to the level of being analytical) and layering 
- Works with a  variety of genres (I listen to a bit of everything but a lot of Top 40 music predominantly)
 
 
These are my early impressions and should be taken as such. YMMV

 
The amps is just incredible and very true to source, very neutral. Best amp I have heard in quite some time and worth every penny I might add!

Dang those are noice. I'd think the solid aluminum shells might induce a savage brain freeze during those cold Canadian winters
 
So, is it so much the sharp edges or the size & shape in general that can cause the discomfort (thinking maybe sanding the edges down could help?)

They do - I got them for $20 a while ago, but even if they were $50 I'd buy them, it's a good budget buy. I would get some pads as well.

I've got Orion (and Nova on the way) and have tried the entire CFA lineup. No discomfort here at all. Very comfy IEM for long term listening in my smallish ears.
