Whats the best Balanced Armature iem you have ever tried?

I have a LOT of IEMs, including most of the Chinese brands we hear touted here. Ultimate ears classics etc.
But, the ones I find myself using and enjoying the most these days are my FAD Heaven IV's.
My question is since I love the IV's would I love the VI's more. Thank you.

I tried the Sony XBA-40 and I really think about getting into trying some other Quad BA that would be better (if possible!).

Thanks! I was wondering if the IM04 had more bass... it definately has more price too

I own the im03 but I've read in a review that the im04 has the most bass of all the balanced armature im series. ...2 bass drivers per side

Me too and there's very few reviews, I wonder how the IM series compare to other ones bass-wise (I ordered the IM04).

By others I mean;
 
Not necessarily Quad. I thought Quad was the highest;
 
I saw;
 
Earsonics, Ultimate Ears, Westone W60 that has up to 9 drivers...

I just received the ATH-IM04 and I gotta say it adds a lot of definition to the low end compared to the XBA-40.
 
Too much? I don't know, I didn't gauge with enough songs yet. Enough? Same.
 
I don't know how much compared to the ATH-IM50/70 though but it definately gives body to shrill recordings.

I have a4driver ba Sony (not sure if it's the xba40) but it is much fuller sounding than the im03. Stands to reason if you have 4 bass drivers vs 2

 I knew about the hybrids though
 
I noticed that with the ATH-IM04, it almost sounds like listening music in a car lol...
