I have never even heard the speakers that you have, but I went to their website and I see that the ELX is their top model, so I was curious.

In other words, these are effectively what I now own: https://ascendacoustics.com/products/elx-tower-pair?variant=40602626850870 It's rare to see a speaker maker post so many detailed graphs and measurements. Dave Fabrikant is a talented and confident designer and the speakers show why.
