I am looking for the very best IEM in the market for female vocals. My budget is unlimited, but I am looking to spend around $1,500-$3,000 USD. Here is my sound preference:
 
1. I want very little bass, just to the point where I can feel it 
2. I want the female voice to be forward
3. I want the biggest soundstage possible (That can compare with AKG K701 or Beyerdynamic T1, if that's even possible for an IEM)
4. I want very airy and sparkly highs (You can call me a masochist, but I actually enjoy harsh and fatiguing sound that hurts my ears)
5. I prefer analytical over "fun"
 
I don't call myself an audiophile, since I lack knowledge and am inexperienced. However, I did throw in quite a lot of cash into this hobby so far. I have tried ATH IM02, ATH IM04, Sony MDR 7550, Sony EX1000, Noble PR, Hifiman RE262, Sennhesier IE80, AKG K3003, Shure SE846, and InEar StageDiver 2. Unfortunately, all of them disappointed me. Perhaps I should stay away from the IEM game now and invest in headphones, but I am willing to give one final shot. I haven't heard of many CIEM, so hopefully one of them will impress me this time. Any recommendations?
