Krell FPB from C to CX

How big is the difference between the latter CX family and the older C modell?
Soundwise and technically!
Is there a differnce in tonal balance, darker, more open, sweeter hights aso.?
I notice weight is thesame!
Is it via the cast connection most improvement is to be won, or equally as much through xlr/balanced?

Could the upgrade be done by retailer techs or, do i have to send the amp to Krell in the US?
Also wish to know, if Krell have some kind of service center inside the EU-region?

Thanks!

Inpieces,

From what I've heard and read, the "c" series has the old
traditional "Krell sound" which is the tendency to be very
analytical.

The newer "cx" series are said to be more "musical" and
"sweeter" than the "c" series - both with CAST input and
XLR input.

I believe the upgrade can be done "in the field" by your
local retailer techs. I don't believe the amp has to go
all the way back to Krell. The local techs can replace
the needed circuit boards.
