Yeah I have to revise my comment. I took another look at Harman IE 2019 and indeed the 3-4 kHz range goes way too high, and of course that is carried all the way to 8 kHz. Every time I EQ to what my ears perceive as neutral, and matching my home theater with Buchardt and Revel speakers, I end up closer to IEF 2023 than other targets I've seen. It sounds like my ears are similar to Crin's.To me it depends on the 3-4k levels. If they are as high as Harman IE I prefer some upper bass bleed to counter balance. Overall my favorite is signature is IEF 2020 + slightly modified Harman bass. I don't see much improvement from IEF 2023, a step back if anything.
I have some new tips coming for my Truthear Zeros so I'll see if any of them change the tonal balance from the stock small bore tips. Have Spinfit CP145 and W1, and XELASTEC coming.
