From some of initial impressions, it looks to me that Focal tried hard to make Elex not overreach. A decent performing can which is comparable to Elear, but still one or two steps short of what Clear makes great.
Which makes sense as the better technicalities are most likely due to the different voicecoil on the Clear vs Elear/Elex. Sounds like the FR of Elex is very much like Clear, but falls short just a bit on some technical aspects due to the voicecoil difference.
