Very timely post Bob.
Earlier tonight I removed the C500C and C500T from their perches and boxed them up for delivery to my dealer, because the C1100C and C1100T arrived today! 
Installation and setup was a breeze - basically just swapped out the cables and configured the inputs and bypass and everything worked.
Phono section is sterling - very quiet and more dynamic than the 500. The line stage is dead quiet and sounds exceptional.
The difference I hear in voicing is similar to the difference between the older power amps and the newer ones. Less dark, more detailed and lively.
The only issue I have is the supplied HR085 remote also runs the MX-151 flawlessly, so I'll have to figure out how to enable an alternate code set on the C1100 and HR085 remote.
