If UE were to win this poll, would it be possible to get the CSX variant? For their drop on universals, they offer options between choosing the 7, 11, or 18 models. They might be willing to offer Pro or CSX models as an option.
Listening to the UE18 Pro, the UE Reference Monitor, the Tia Fuerte, and the entire JH Audio line, switching between all of them a few times:
JH Audio Lola is my go to for bass, vocals, treble, and I think the connector is superior as well.
I love(d) my Triple.fi Then one of the housings broke apart at the seam. This was just after Logitech bought them, and they not only refused to repair them, they wouldn’t allow me to purchase the part that broke off and disappeared (the half with the port, not the electronics). The Triples were less than six months old. I will not buy UE products while they’re owned by Logitech.
anyone seen comparisons between ue 18 and newer flagships? the 18 doing super well in the poles like everyone wants them, but last time i dont think the drop was successful. Im really hoping to buy my first ciem next drop but im not crazy about the 18. Its close the the signature im looking for and the reviews were possitive. However hardly ever seen anyone call the ue 18 a contender for best ciem out there.
here's someone reviewing my first choice the aaw w500 with 7 other worthy competitors. (please delete if this isnt permitted)

aaw has worked with mass drop before and with a regular price of 1100$ through null audio I bet we can get the W500 down in the the 900$ range. This will probably be the best possible price/performancefor anyone wanting a monitor tuned for enjoyment. If you'r not onboard please do some research and tell me why i shouldnt buy them.
i would love to see a good deal on ue 18. Wish I could change one of my votes to Advanced AcousticWerkes W500, hadn't read much about this one before. its got 9mm dynamic driver with 4 BA's in a 5 way crossover. bass is very well extended and can be adjusted.
