Kiwi Ears KE4 - $200 Neutral & Natural All-around Fun! - Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thanks to all my supporters who helped fund the purchase of the Kiwi Ears KE4.

The Kiwi Ears KE4 is what some would call the new META tuning. The THA says the tuning is neutral, natural with a bass boost. Is it an all-around or stage monitor? How does it compare to the Kiwi Ears Quintet and Tanchjim Kara?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
