Here's checking back in on this exact same question in June/July of 2022 - how do these two compare? How is the low-end accuracy in terms of hysteresis/smeariness/driver speed etc? I'm on some T7V's now but it's like a blob down there, so I'm trying to get some crisp, defined lows from a slightly higher price bracket.

HS8?

IN-8 V2/2nd Wave?

Alternatively, anywhere I can get some of those $5k speakers for around 20% of the price?
