I am looking at the specs for these units and see that the C1 uses a different power supply than the C2. Also, the weight of the C1 is slightly heavier than the C2. However, a quick Google search revealed that the internals of the C1 and C2 are very similar except for the LCD display.

Combo 1:

Which would provide better sound? And pros/cons to both?
