My absolute favorite IMR in ear at the moment is the seraph+. It arrived a few days ago after a long journey and I really enjoy it at the moment even without burn in.

Somebody in Russian IMR community has recieved Titans. OOTB Bob's endgame impressed a lot. The user said that they are even better than Mest mk2, also that he has ordered Seraph+, but after some briefing with Bob he changed to Titans. He underlined excellent treble, and space. But this is the first impression, burn in just has to begin.
OOTB treble on Avalon was fine, but after burn in it rolled too back for my taste. Indeed on Titans there are 4 EST drivers (on Avalon there are 2)
The most important thing is different dynamic driver technology. Avalon's it's more "relaxed" wide band driver, on Titan three is more punchy bespoke adlc driver with big diameter. However, mem drivers are really interesting
So I have had my downs mostly but one amazing up.. I bought 4viems this month. Rah23 good enough. Ozar (waiting), Legato.1 day away and ..,..,the surprise I em I can't put down Sender MT500. Just fing WOW. 1ba, 1dd, 1 planer and it does it all well even fast metal. Analog, natural, cymbals 110%. These are my new go too. Best cable ever by 100to the 100th. Bass is IMR style. Imm in love and it just loves tubes!!
After some time with the 7HZ Legato and having been using the IMR Bass Cannon 2023 as my daily driver. Although the Legato is a really good bass IEM, the Bass Cannon is all round a more well tuned IEM. The BC is soulful and very musical. It's bass may not be quite as deep as the Legato, but the BC is everything IMR is about and shows Bob to be a master tuner, and the BC bass has oodles of impact. What cannot be denied is the Legato is amazing value at less than £100, but the BC is simply more musical than the Legato.
I'm so confused about the BC 2023, I have had almost no sub bass and even mid bass has not been much to talk about. Now it's around 400 hour burn in, last week I burned them in much higher than what I'm used to for 20 hours. All happened due to accident since the amp where set to high gain.
And guess what, there is bouldering sub bass and punchy mid bass now.
Started slowly to write my review this week, starting now to play with the filters. I do prefer the black lower nozzle with purple upper. Good balance with full bass and also good treble.
Red lower and green upper is also a good one, more balanced sounding to me.
Tips that I can use that seal well is TRN T tips, I have changed for a thicker and better copper cable from ISN.
Here's their response when I've expressed my concerns about the treble of my Rah 2023:
Hello Nick,
Due to the planar within the Rah it can have an old-school analog sound to it, or it may be that you’re used to listening to brighter IEMs which is why the treble may be distant within the Rah. As we tested this before it’s unlikely that the IEMs are faulty.
Would you like us to send you our Elan+ to compare it to? And if you’re happy with that pay the difference, or if not, you could return both and receive a refund for your Rah?
Kind regards,
Brandon

And, later on:
This will be a new unit, I shall have it tested before we ship it out.

We’ve done some testing on the Elan+ and everything spot on. We’ve sent this via Royal Mail today, here is your tracking number...
I would agree with that description of the rah 23s. I really... really dig it.
I bought the R2 Reds from jonparker...they're excellent and such a different feeling from the Rahs. Sharper...maybe... more assertive. Rahs feel more laid back, there's better than average separation, wide enough soundstage for me, bass is still killer, but would agree treble feels like it drops off even on blue tops and compared to other sets it's probably harder to position/locate sounds...all said, I have no complaints.
They're not for critical listening by any means but there's something about them ...
I had a bad experience with Sundaras that made me fear treble (made my ears itch and feel like...I don't know...they were bleeding). That said, and despite the elan+ announced as a treble head set, I am curious about them.

One of the things I am hoping/praying for, regarding the Elan+ is the fit.
When I am wearing my Rah 2023 I need to have the chin slider always pulled up, and even then I feel the urge to push the right IEM further inside my ear. It is not required but I have this feeling that it might fall out. I am using the Spiral Dot tips.
When it comes to treble, I need it. Because I am listening to Electronica and it is a Must, together with the bass.

That's very cool. I have a feeling you'll be keeping the Elan+ and sending back the Rah.
Last week, as reported, I used the single black filter on the E+ and thought it solved all my (treble) problems. But earlier this week it felt a little closed, so went back to blue lower and gold upper. Not sure what voodoo is at play (the units, my ears, the relative humidity outside, Paul Goldschmidt's batting average), but things seem to be falling in place and the E+ are coming into their own.
