Thank you. Yes, the ELX Horizon RAAL.
At first, I was somewhat hesitant about buying a center speaker from a different brand. Back in the good old days, in a galaxy far away when prices were cheaper, I saved, bought, saved again, bought again, and eventually put together a 9.2.6 speaker setup, with most of the speakers coming from the XTZ 99 series (Atmos different).
My front speakers are the XTZ 99.38 MK2 three-way speakers(Only shortly on the market, probably because of costs), paired with the XTZ 99.26 MK2 2-way center speaker. I really enjoy this setup with its sweet ribbon sound, but I wanted more from the center channel.
To stay on the ribbon adventure, I was looking for a true ribbon tweeter, not an AMT, that could complement the SEAS drivers and the Fountek ribbon in my speakers (better now, I guess). The problem is that there isn't much available in Europe, so there weren't many options. Fortunately, the ELX is a good centerspeaker.
There is an option on the back of my XTZ speakers to change the tweeter curve with more or less dB treble. We will see, I am not a purist.
It's nice to read that you're happy with your center speaker. That's exactly the explanation I need in the center. Positive user reviews and the measurements ensure a good purchase.
Seeing and reading about the DIY center, I've always wondered what the Accuton tweeter brings to the table. There's even an upgrade available for my XTZ speakers that replaces the ribbon with an Accuton tweeter, but aside from the costs, I'm perfectly happy with the ribbon sound.
