FedEx ratholed until today and tonight I set it up. It's quieter than my C-26 but hey, It's not 35 years old either I like having all the inputs and most of all the remote function.

My only dislike is the fact it only has a 1/2 glass face and isn't as nice looking as the C-26 with the lights out. However, that doesn't affect the sound

My plan is to eventually trade into a C-38.39 or 41. Or win the lotto and buy a C-2200

I like the quiet switching and the ease of hooking things up. It's not nearly as crowded as the C-26 in back.
