I've also compared the E100 and Eikona. The EAD had substantially more output at HF, more than the JX92 in my experience. I found it uncomfortable but that was personal preferences.
The two were in a sealed box enclosure which was against a wall, so alignment was close enough to make the comparison. The difference was not subtle.
Re the JX92 and Eikona - the Eikona sounds more balanced with none of the need to toe-in to get the correct balance. Cleaner at HF than the JX92 and much more so than the EAD. In many respects, I thought it resembled the JXR6 linear array. Same balance and similar excellent imaging.

Isn't the E100 actually just the JX92 and the E100HD a smoothed tweaked version? Therefore the E100 should sound exactly like the JX92...
Ah that's cleared things up as the E100HD I listened to didn't sound like the one you're describing, it was much more refined.
