Classe CP-45 vs. CP-47.5 vs. CP-35

Hi,

I currently have the CP-35 paired with a Classe CA-200.

1. Will I notice a sonic difference going to a CP-45 or CP-47.5?

2. How about the CP-45 vs. the CP 47.5? Is there a sonic difference? A functional difference? For example, does the CP-45 remote control only volume, or can you control sources also as with the CP-45?

Thanks!

- Eric

I dont know about the differences between CP 45 and the 47.5. But considering the software upgrade for 47.5 is now avaible, should make it more interesting than CP 45. The CP 35 is not "true"-ly balanced. The remote control handles ;
selection of source, volume/mute and display brightness.
I myself have the 47.5 connected to the Plinius SA-102.
Not only does it take on the Plinius CDLAD- it supersedes it by far when it comes to control. Further the bass is a firmer, deeper and punchier.
What else differ these two is - the CDLAD is more forward and the CP 47.5 is a little laidback.
For the question if the CP 47.5 is better than Your CP- it is!
And it is as mentioned - true balanced!
Sell the CP 35 buy a second hand CP 47.5 take it in for the software upgrade.
