Now if only you could ship them in a reasonable amount of time instead of 3+ weeks after an order is placed, I'd have a set.

$2500 iems and the 3 week wait is what’s holding you back? We need to trade problems

They told me it would ship next week multiple times. I gave up waiting.

fantastic IEM

I've heard/read good things, but am holding off until I can read some reviews from the usual established sources. I was close to pulling the trigger, I've got my faceplate design chosen as well.

It would really help if they had a US distributor. It doesn't help that they'll charge you when you place the order (Paypal only), even if it won't go out for X number of weeks. You end up being their personal bank.

Price is crazy for this cheap-looking IEM. I know probably they sound fantastic but design is meh.

I'm used to waiting for CIEMs so the long lead time doesn't bother me.

You can always choose the custom faceplate option.

Respect to those people that wait 6-8 months for their Elysian customs to arrive...

Mad respect. I think Musicteck is supposed to start carrying the Diva now. Yep, they even have one in stock: https://shop.musicteck.com/products/elysian-diva?_pos=1&_sid=47a976b1a&_ss=r. A least with Elysian, you know what you're getting into - they tell you it'll take forever, Penon kept changing their answer as to when the Impact would ship...all while having already charged me.

Damn, and I thought they would at least be forward with their lead times

No, that was the problem. They charged me, then told me it would ship next week, the the week after, then the week after that...Then I asked them to cancel it.

I just auditioned this today. And maybe it is just me but the bass sounds non-existent....
