    Wow. Pretty quick for a new flagship. Still, probably won't be enough for me to part with my Andromeda.

    Can't watch it now, do they give prices?

    6 months between the last flagship and this new one. That's a rather abnormal short timeframe right?

    Sounds interesting. I wish I could tolerate IEMs better.

    I agree, but considering they are dynamics (and a hybrid) maybe they can get a pass. I'm certainly curious to see what they can do with more of a high-end tier dynamic personally

    Given their explanation for being slow with the Andromedas (small team not able to handle large demand), it's surprising they're expanding their model line yet again.

    But that's what is rewarded in business these days.

    From the video it seems these have been in the works for over 2 years. So it's not like they are introducing something new, just because they are selling their line-up well. At any rate, I hope @Marvey gets opportunity for a loaner. I've been hoping for a true high end dynamic driver iems to replace the Sony EX1000 for a few years now.

    True, but there's also two other models being released.

    Man o man, these all look promising. DD, hybrid and this diamond driver insanity. I've always wanted diamond earings so this would get me pretty close. Thug life.

    Diamond Driver akin to Diamond Dave or Dustin Diamond. That is the question.

    One thing is for certain, there are some serious engineering chops at CFA. Every monitor seems to showcase different materials and technologies and at least they aren't just pumping out uber-BA monitors with ever increasing prices...

    That makes them acceptable for a man to buy in lieu of an engagement ring, right?

    Me too, but going by the vid, these might be tuned quite a bit bassier than the EX1000.

    That's my concern but until I see measurements or someone compares with other iems, I'm holding out hope.

    Really cool to see that Ken is continuing to push the boundaries with Dynamic drivers, I've been in the market for a good dynamic for a while.......
