The key to these smaller boxes sounding good is the graphic equalizer. Being able to pull down the mids makes all the difference.
IMHO, the best sounding (best bass) C series box is the C45 which incidently is smaller than the C39 but is 1.6 kilos heavier!
The C39 is a bit down of power (12 watts RMS v 15 watts RMS) but should still sound good when compared with smaller 1 piece units.

I have to agree with all you say as I also have the
RX-C45 model. There is little difference between the
RX-C41 and the
RX-C45 although the
RX-C41 is (unnecessarily IMHO) a little larger, has a Line In/CD facility along with a single Mic socket. The
RX-C45 has a direction change facility on the deck with a DIN/Phono choice on the Selector switch along with separate L&R Mic sockets.
