I'm coming from a set of ES5, of which one of the monitors was lost in Europe. I remember enjoying the W4 before going the custom route. I find universals more comfortable than customs so I doubt that I will be purchasing another custom anytime soon.
I guess at this point it is about value. I kind of want to get in and get out with a set of IEM so I don't get hit with upgradeitis all over again.
The JH Angie look very tempting as well, but would require a bit more saving up.
I was very happy with the ES5, but since I'm looking for something again, wouldn't mind a little more treble extension and less mid-centric. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the vocals, piano and saxophones, but they felt just the slightest bit of colored. I don't know that I would want to go lighter on the bass than the ES5. Also, perhaps a little more space and airiness up top.
"As soon as I think I'm out, they pull me right back in."
