Which one responds better to EQ - Focal Elex/Elear or LCD-2C?

Hi, I like to use EQ, to make it closer to my tastes. Which one will responds better to EQ? + It would be nice if you can compare them too :)

That's a pretty vague criteria since it depends on what result you'd want and what EQ tools you have.

Generally you'd want a relatively smooth response that way you can either flatten it without using a too narrow Q factor or just change it to what you want and any such changes will be easier to hear. Either way even with all the EQ features you can possibly have you can run into issues like not matching the exact curve of the peak you want to flatten, boosting the bass causes the driver to hit X-Max or just distort, etc.

If anything the LCD-2 is a planar so it's not going to pump in and out violently the way a dynamic driver does, which leads more easily to overexcursion or the driver outright losing its shape.
