[@willymccabe6602]

Checking out the EKX vs ELX live in the store was an eye opener. The EKX were substantially fuller and warmer than the ELX. had the ELX beat by a good margin for me.

[@SoundPnemonic]

Can't beat the wooden sound

elx200 - 3:14 ekx - 3:31

[@DaveJacobs-f7c]

I have a set of the previous generation ELXs and have had a lot of compliments on the sound, they "breathe" a little more than what most of the guys playing bars in my area are used to hearing. The only trouble I have with them is that being passively cooled, if I'm doing an outdoor gig and the sun is directly on them, I have hit thermal shutdown a couple times while someone is performing and that's not great. I'm also taking some bigger gigs lately and running them pretty near full power. I've been so happy with them though I'm wanting to stay with EV and just move up to a set of EKX series units. I also like that replacement amp plates are available on Full Compass. My ELX200 subs have been doing great this summer and they're so light, I think I'd rather just get a 2nd set of those instead of upgrading them.

I'm thinking the ELX200 line are a replacement form the ELX's line of Wood Encloser speakers. Can we get a Wood vs Polyproplene shootout between the Electro-Voice ELX112P vs Electro-Voice ELX200 12P or 15 inch woofers? Raw specs are similar between the two. It would be interesting to see if any significant sound improvements to the ELX200 over the ELX. Case Material: 9-ply, 15 mm Plywood, Internally Braced, with Texured Paint Frequency Response (-3 dB): 60Hz - 18kHz Frequency Response (-10 dB): 50Hz - 20kHz Max. SPL/1m: 132 dB Enclosure Material: Polypropylene Frequency Response (-3 dB): 57 Hz - 16 kHz Hz Frequency Range (-10 dB): 51 Hz - 20 kHz Max. SPL/1m (calc): 130 dB

[@lexicon1967]

Can you do a db test and sound test with this two models and adding the Mackie SRM 650 and give your opinion on the results. Thx

[@ghawk78]

The ekx is warmer and slightly thicker sounding. Both were similar but the ekx seems a little easier to listen to. Both sounded good but I like the ekx a tad better on this test.

[@victorccordoba]

Muy parejas en SPL, pero la EKX suena un poco mas bonito y cálido el sonido

[@israelprats8743]

Hola Víctor. Sabes si el tweeter de las ekx es de mayor tamaño o mejor calidad de sonido que las Elx? Tengo 4 Elx200-15p y estoy pensando en cambiarlas por 4 Ekx-15p. Suena parejo?El amplificador de las Ekx tiene 300wats más y 2db más de spl maximo. No debería sonar las Ekx claramente más fuerte? Gracias!!

[@AdamLazhar]

@@israelprats8743 I assume google will translate this for me but if it's at a large cost, the difference isn't noticeable and not worth switching between them. EKX sounds better but it's not a change worth upgrading for.

[@ZlatkoF]

Hi, great video, EKX 15P have less bass and more mids. I would prefer ELX.

[@juliancrouch1525]

The EKX has a larger sound stage, is warmer and throatier. The ELX200 has a much more tight feel, not as expansive, a little more narrow

[@buckyflex1]

All else being more or less equal the wood box will out perform poly 9 times out of 10 but what poly may lack in sq it more than makes up for when it comes to weight reduction and durability which are absolutely important factors for anyone out doing gigs. And whatever the sound difference it's negligible only detectable to the trained ear who's zeroed in listening intently the average Joe will never even notice.

[@MrBoogaloo86]

"The EKX has a warmer sound and deeper bass, probably because of it's wooden cabinet. Together, they sound phenomenal. I would pair 4 (2 ELX, 2EKX), EKX on the inside and ELX on the outside; boost the ELX volume by 3 notches over the EKX and i'll bet the sound would be amazing!"

[@thomasrudder9639]

Dont do it man.

[@johnoakes7922]

EKX sounded brighter...ELX200 sounded more full bodied.. I prefer the ELX200

[@Dodzee.44]

ive used sx 300s for 26 years and would like to upgrade to a new passive speaker would you recommend these as a good upgrade, thank you

[@kapisithekid2843]

I have 2 EKX 12P. I’m gonna use a single 18inch sub, a QSC 181. What would be the best setting? 100hz?

[@ВиталийШепель-э4м]

ELX 200👍👍👍

[@djgazaaka5000]

Don’t forget the elx has a mixer in the back To make it louder.

[@storm1437]

The elx sounds great too

[@shanewillis7553]

Hey I’m having issue of deciding which speaker combo to get at my budget hears my options 2 ZLX 15p with ekx 18 subwoofer or to ekx 15p tips with. Cheaper sub will I pls give me opinion on this since your familiar with these speakers

[@oswaldoresendiz3313]

Hola 👋 una pregunta de cuantos watts tendría que ser mi ampli para un par de EKX 15 p?

[@mannythedj2023]

Ya viene amplificada - 2000 W

[@jeromelimehouse1435]

I like the EKX speaker It have a lot more richer song to it

[@riles2626]

The ekx seems to have more power from how I was listening

[@victorccordoba]

me gusta mucho la EKX-15P, no tanto la ELX200, y al parecer la ZLX-15P esta muy cerca del rendimiento de la ELX. Comprar ELX200-15P, ELX115P, ZLX-15P

[@omarantonio7331]

victor cordoba Cual recomiendad de las 2 para Dj elx o ekx

[@josemanuelmurillo5790]

Yo te recomiendo la EKX 15P 1500w. Ya si requieres una mas potente, la Etx 15p 2000w...

[@prouserprouser9646]

Hey john i'm confused , i thought you were a yamaha man from your previous video's , you loved them and now your using EV what happened?

[@graybentley]

Both speakers sound the same to me .

[@libread85]

EKX has a slight more tick in the tweeters but overall they sound the same. I need to look at the price difference now.

[@djstantsia7905]

Appart wouldn't make any difference. Together both sounds great. One is just little flatter than the other little deeper/softer.

[@Dodzee.44]

I need some with a bit more overall power and sound

[@lucazannelli8467]

I'm about to buy EV tops for my new subs EKX 18p. I live in Mexico and play mostly at beach weddings with wind,salty air and sand. For the same price I can choose between EV Elx200-15p or EKX 12P; my concern is that I heard that EKX 12P has a ventilation system (internal fan) and I'm afraid it might throw in a lot of sand and salty air. Elx200-15p seem to have a more closed cabinet, probably with no fan. I'm writing you to get suggestions for my purchase. Which speaker do you think would fit my needs ?

[@lackc]

Go with the EKX 15p

[@libread85]

EKX had a little bit more on the high end

[@daanaliza]

Hey guys how much RMS the elx has? And how much spl? Cant found the info online anywhere

[@victorccordoba]

700 RMS

[@josemanuelmurillo5790]

The Ekx 1500w. pico. , la Elx200, 1200w and the Elx 15p 1000w(pico)

[@jasoncollins3256]

Definitely a richer sound on the ekx. I could hear more treble and clear sounds. I could be Crazee though. Lol

[@agork]

I bet so, but you’re right nonetheless

[@savinufonseka4991]

I have heard it from my jbl live 650btnc headphone I think ekx has more mid range than the elx 200 15p

[@savinufonseka4991]

But elx200-15p has a mixer

[@hugh2200]

The EKX had a better high end crispier sound. Other than that, they are the same from this 57 old ear.

[@djtswift216]

I dont hear any significant difference and I have EKX speakers so to me the only real difference is the EXK line is 1500watts the ELX line is 1200watts, & the significant price difference EXK being $800 vs ELX $699. Other than the decision between sacrificing 300watts and a wooden box the ELX is a great bang for the buck in most ways

[@k9chance250]

plus a fan

[@skeeterman7144]

ELX sounded less colored. The K model has more mids. Cabinet material like woods of a guitar has little impact to the average listener.

[@revelationevents2323]

More clarity and power on the ekx. Elx sounds muffled compared to the ekx

[@storm1437]

EKX is deeper in the lower frequency range

[@graybentley]

They both sound the same

[@kunad2294]

elx 200.

[@lexveldhuis5818]

They sound almost the same. Also the ELX200 and EKX shares the same LF Woofer.

[@larryleguizamon2906]

EKX had better low end.

[@specialtyentertainmentdj]

No difference on my earbuds. Im sure the EKX is better, but most people that listen to ELX at a wedding or venue wouldnt care.

[@chewinghornet2308]

EKX has better mid range and low mid warmth

[@jeremylovesongs]

Agree

[@jelveralegria4463]

Plastic it’s cheaper cheap speakers 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮always EKX its 100 times better

[@djom3390]

EV´s bad investment ever . .

[@willymccabe6602]

Bullshit. I have a EV wedge monitor that has a 15 with a horn that sat out in my garage thru Minnesota winters and summers for 12 years without being covered or used. I brought it in and cleaned it up and plugged the amp into it and it worked as good as the day I bought it.

[@darkdevil4456]

@@willymccabe6602 Totaly agree, 12 years with my EV, beating the crap out of the sepakers and never failed once !! Play like Day 1. Complete Bullshit from @djom
