I should have an Ani 23 tour unit soon.

Oh geez...That and RN6 are the only IEMs I'm seriously dying to hear. A lot of people I trust who've been accurate in their impressions over the years(personally confirmed by hearing the gears myself) have lauded them.

EA 2023 coming in hot at a competitive price, I welcome this. Some people will say it's high but it's cheaper than many other IEMs.

Talk about tempting...custom RN6 and I haven't even heard it yet although I've heard every other FIR IEM. Before RN6 was even made I was asking for an IEM in between KR5 and XE6, was never a fan of XE6, too uncontrolled and bloated but saw the potential this tuning had and FIR listened to us and released the RN6. I hope I get to hear it before they close custom orders.

Bass: Don't wanna say yet, several I have yet to hear but the Fir KR5 was my fav so far.
Mids: Mentor although I felt like the Mentor was an incredibly awesome tuning it lacked transparency, always reminded you it was an IEM in your ears, didn't disappear but it was super addictive, love the warm thick highly detailed midrange on this one.
Highs: The tia open driver, always was my favorite sounding highs so most 64 audio IEMs with that driver would tick the box.

It would have been Mason FS, Ronin and Trailli not too long ago.
Now only Storm for all three. The other three will be for sale in Europe this week.
I have arrived and getting off at my stop very happy :)

Subbass: Ragnar
Midbass: EXT
-> haven’t heard FatFreq

Mids: Ronin
-> Phönix and Traillii are close

Treble: Ragnar
-> haven’t heard Anni 23 (yet 😉)

This is an interesting poll, but unfortunately this isn’t lego, where you can rebuild your own fantasy. If you would design an IEM of all those, it would be a cacophonie. Each frequency range would try to overwhelm the other.

Try to imagine a Lamborghini Huracan with BBS rims and a VW Calfornia pop-up roof - won’t work. 💭

But how about the rational question, what needs a certain IEM to be perfect? 💬

EXT with smaller Nozzels
Traillii with nicer faceplate look
Jewel with better cable

What are these tours and do we have them in Europe?
Yeap! I am preparing 1 x Annihilator 2023 for a US Tour, @Rockwell75 will be helping out to organise that 😃 Europe might be bit tough, I'll see what I can do!
