AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?

Better than FIM Gold?
I auditioned both the Symphony and Pathfinder IC's and their SC counterparts (Twin-11 and Twin-19). I was fortunate enough to have a full set of Valhalla's on loan for about 6 weeks, during which the various comparisons took place. Again, I'm full... 
Any one else have this complaint?
The binding posts on the Eidolons, and I assume the Opus, are actually beneath the cabinet on the base of the units, not easily accessible unless you tip or actually lay the speaker on it's side.They're not low, they're below. The Eidolons weighed...
