I used the DeCapos for a number of years and a friend of mine owned l'Integral. L'Integral is warmer and will produce significantly more bass than the DeCapo. However, it is double the price of the DeCapo and does not, in my opinion, represent near the value of the DeCapo. When you get into the $7K price range, like l'Integral, there are a number of speakers that I would chose over l'Integral. Indeed, adding a good subwoofer to the DeCapos would be a better choice (again, this is in my opinion) than buying l'Integral.
