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!

Check out a CP-60 it's the model before the Cp-65 but I have heard both and the CP-60 sounds much better than the 47.5 The CP-60 has a sepperate power supply and you can pick up a used one for around $1500. I run two Classe 25 amps along with the CP-60 and it's great!
The CP-35 to 47.5 will be a suttle upgrade but the CP-35 to CP-60 will be big! Happy Listening!

Running the longer interconnects will work but with your CP-35 I would run longer speaker wire unless you went with the CP-45, CP-45.7 or CP-60 then I would run longer interconnects. There are mixed opinions on longer interconnects VS longer speaker wire, so what I would do is try the longer lenghts of both and see what sounds best. The best way to go is buy CP-60 $1500 used! Major difference from the CP-35 to CP-60 that's if you were looking to change preamps, Then I think the longer interconnects are less of an issue!
Good listening!
