Listening to Agnes Obel tonight following the conversation earlier. Went with Z1R - Holy moly, phenomenal... certainly punches way above it's price tag. Beautiful vocals and accompanying instruments, all wonderfully positioned on such a natural sounding stage.

I think I like vocals and dynamics a little better with PW cable. Plus, I finally have a good use for this cable, since FT is permanently attached to Traillii.
Hmmm I personally hear it as more towards the sub bass but the balance between sub and mid bass is honestly “perfect” for me, it’s got just the right amount of body and rumble to give that low end injection into music without ever being too much. The DD quality is very nice too.
There is the fit risk, but other than that, they come with my highest recommendation. I was just saying to my wife, even though she had little interest - they sound like listening to music coming from the room, rather than earphones in my ears - I don't think any other IEM in my collection can do that in the same way. Oh and M9 is a truly magical pairing.
My top three in mind currently:
Jewel
LX
Ace (Haven't heard it, but the mystery has me intrigued, no reviews or impressions outside of @audio123 proclaiming it to be the best all BA lol)
I'd ask Andrew to demo, but I have no intention of buying it right at this moment
Sure but I think will be different from Jewel because Thunder should have more mid bass and warmer tuning as Ace.
Trailli is great but sometimes I feel baish behavior and aren’t lush as thunder on mids @audio123 own Thunder , Ace, Jewel, Duet and more aroma so I think should be the best one to ask

Trailli is great and its more technical, but sometimes I feel ba-ish behavior and aren’t lush as thunder on mids.
Thunder BA are so pleasant and never harsh.
Edit: I forgot thunder with C9 scale on next level instead of a stand alone Dap as LPGT, M8, RS6 and more
Yeah I've been intrigued by Thunder for many months now given the high praise from @Xinlisupreme - I was about to buy last August but went with Traillii at the time. I can see it happening this year!
Speaking of FiR, how much thicker is the Xe6 in the midbass than Kr5. Because I have to say, Kr5 is pretty thick and warm with any track that has a halfway prominent bassline (and the recessed upper mids and kinetic bass bleed into the lower mids makes it sound even thicker on occasion).

I keep throwing Cooler-favourite IEMs at my Z1R and it keeps throwing them back at me!
