First off congratulations! I recently got my Monarch MK2 too. Do yourself a favor and just allow yourself to be happy about what you have before looking over your shoulder about something next because the higher you go up the price ladder the harder the law of diminishing returns will be to overcome and what you have in the Monarch MK2 is so well done and well balanced in sound that nothing really truly is objectively proven better all together over it. You will only get deviations from certain points here and there but I don’t believe there is tech out there that truly is double the sound ability of the Monarch mk2 at any price. But the same can be said about other top S tier IEMs. The Monarch MK2 won’t be double the sound of those other top S ranked IEMs either. So just be happy that you have a wonderful IEM that you can easily claim as your endgame.
