Bel Canto Black EX Integrated vs. E1X Integrated


I have the bug and wondered if anyone has had experience with either of these Bel Canto integrateds? Is one worth 2x the other?

Thanks in advance,

Don't know but I can say even the modest C5i sounds wonderful though only 60 w/ch and separate streamer required. 

And then there’s a third one: the Black for over $30,000! The rear panel on all three is identical. I’ve listened to the E1X and it sounds fantastic. As far as I can tell, the main difference is in power output, but I would love to hear others’ thoughts.
