Now that I have a little bit of a chance to hear all of these wonderful FiR Frontier IEMs, I have to say I unfortunately, like them :)
I am probably the odd man out, I really like the Ne4 the best. I can listen to this one for hours and just float away to heaven.
I have found that it works so well with the Sony 1ZM2 that I have just look back at the clock and realized how late it is.

Ne4 seems to take the better qualities of the Kr5 (more neural tonal balance and keep the bass). I found the Xe6 an attractive
midrange for the female vocals, but overall, the Xe6 is a bit too warm and shall I say a bit bloated bass not working for my library.
If I could afford to buy two of these IEMs, I think I would choose the Ne4 first and then buy the Xe6 next. I am of course giving
up the detail and air of the Kr5. I do find the Kr5 at times a bit fatiguing and seems close enough to the Blanc that I don't really
need the Kr5. The Kr5 has a bit better texture to the bass which is really apparent with bass drums or wooden instruments compared
to the Blanc.

I think the stock cables that come with the FiR Frontier are rather okay and hold back the true potential of these iems. Switching
to Wagnus and event the cable for the Fourte Blanc, all of these IEMs really opened up.
PM me for like-new Neon4 🤭. Just bought Kr5 from Musicteck 🫠

Nice! I'm definitely in for this one if there are plans to run it through the US after it makes the rounds in Canada.

Count me in too!
