The"new" look Capitole

The list on the new Capitole is 8895.00.With the demand being so high I am sure if you sold the "old"model privately you probably would get more money toward the new piece.The current Captiole is certainly no slouch by any means.

Mzn50- who are you? Fellow Canadian??

Sattothestars (always wondered what that moniker meant by the way)- you seem to know a lot about Audio Aero- just a fan, or a dealer too??

Anyways, I can't justify $6,000 extra for (slightly?) better sound- it is really getting esoteric at that point... I will be happily keeping mine- plus the gold/black matches perfectly with the chassis of my GTA Solo 300B modded monoblocks! Too busy enjoyin' the new Coincident Super Eclipses too. Later.

No not Canadien.I am a dealer for Audio Aero and other numerous brands.I am in Eastern Long Island New York.In a way I agree with you that I hope they have not priced themselves out of the HI end market and to the 'niche" area,as their price point of 6800.00 was certainly in line.The bottom line is everything I have heard and have on the floor from Audio Aero(including their Capitole Amp)is without question some of the best gear I have ever sold and owned.

"Sattothestars"is short for satellite to the stars.When I first started I installed BUGS(big ugly satellite dishes)for many movie stars here in the Hamptons,thus the name.Remember those?

Sutts, yes, I am in Ottawa and am about to unload "possibly" a Levinson 36S DAC and looking at the Capitole as an option..Will be at the Montreal Show next Friday, hopefully they will have one there !

Sattothestars: why two new players? Will the redbook on the Prestige not be as good? If it's as good, I would assume the Prestige will be considerably more money. Yes? Thanks.
