Salut Badwisdom,
I think you'll like both the Capitole & the new Electro; using the Capitole as a benchmark @ FFr: ~30.000 (that's a quote I got a few months ago), rate it against the EMC for your budget & musical taste. From hearsay, the chap at Ile St Louis allegedly had an EMC "solde" (paradoxical for a new model) at less than 30k... I agree with Subaru & others regarding the EMC's smooth, vinyl-like sound. But then, so is the Capitole smooth & open sounding IM experience. A granite support under the Capitole also made a positive difference -- however, this matter is best left Redkiwi who has earned a PhD in researching the subject!
Cheers!
