I have owned the JMR Trentes and DeCapos
surprisingly the Trentes were easier to drive and I preferred them, I did not do a side by side comparison so I am not giving you a scientific impression, I owned the DeCapos a few years after the Trentes and they may have been under powered with my 8wpc Meishu, but they were a bit flat and muddy in the bass and lacked clarity in comparison.
fwiw the Trentes were among my favorite speakers so they were heavy competition for the DeCapos. They had a terrific musical quality that made you want to listen forever.
good luck
Phil
