C47 is the same preamp as C52 minus the 8 band eq and extra inputs/outputs.

Wow you're going for the big mono blocks!

They are actually the smallest ones. 6" tall. 67lbs each. Something I can move by myself but still quad balanced. The next option up was a single MC452 which is way more power than the Sabrinas need and way too big to fit anywhere and out of the question to move by myself. The choice was the single MC152 or the small mono blocks.
I didn't buy the Devialet originally because it was a one box solution, it was mostly what SAM did for my previous Focal's and it was better than the Simaudio 600i I had before. Separates isn't an issue for me.
