I see someone jumped in with an excellent review before I could complete my punchline and review.
Although that only makes it funnier (to me. I amuse myself, even if no one else)
It reminded me that I omitted to mention that I too listened to the Hunter!
The Delta V2's were next. I found these slightly bass-light (only slightly!), but I think I used the non-bassy filters, and was in too much of a hurry to hear the other more expensive IEMs waiting patiently in front of me
However, they did impress me overall with their general sound and clarity.
Sabres were next. Up until this point, I was enjoying myself but not, you know, blown away.
But I listened to the Sabres with the neutral/natural sounding gunmetal filters and was immediately entranced.
I do like a good strong and present bass, and the push-pull driver configuration delivered this powerfully, but without ever unbalancing the sound or bleeding into the mids.
This also meant that I could freely use the neutral/bass-light filters without losing the kind of bass I love and, even better, being able to enjoy terrific clarity and detail in the mids.
The M6 have a lot of potential, but since they were an unfinished demo set, not yet tweaked to Bob's satisfaction, I wouldn't really like to comment. (and I only heard them with the first filter that Jon Parker above commented didn't work for him in the current unfinished tuning).
Based on my listening to the Sabre and Delta V2, and the M4's description as "a Delta V2 on steroids" (and the fact that it and the M6 both contain the same push-pull dual driver configuration as the Sabres, plus bonus Balanced Armature goodness), I think the M4 and M6 are both going to be superb.
To listen to the Sabres, with their excellent bass, great mids, treble and clarity, and then imagine adding the effect of balanced armatures into the mix too...
well.. The classic Shakespearean quote rings out again: "alas poor wallet; I knew him well"
Finally, I listened to the Hunters. They were astonishingly good!
I can only reiterate what Jon Parker above described so eloquently; they have a beautiful natural sounding presentation. Great music from a quality source just sounds even better.
As he said, nothing particularly stands out (aside from excellent retrieval of detail) in the sound signature, but it all just sounds so..RIGHT
Hearing is believing lol.

- I forgot to mention the beautifully perfect detail retrieval - you know why? Because it IS so good you can almost forget its there o_0
