- Recently upgraded to the AVR2600 after owning the previous model AVR254 for a year. They have really fixed all the quirks I had over last years model. Features such as Dolby Volume and HDMI bypass are very welcome including finally the addition of a USB port instead of DB9 serial for future firmware upgrades. Anyone who's tried flashing a AVR254 knows what I mean. Dolby Volume makes a huge difference when it comes to leveling commercial volumes between shows and switching between inputs. HDMI bypass enables the receiver to pass the HDMI signal through untouched and while you lose the nice volume overlays you may gain some slightly better IQ especially if your HDTV has a good video processor…
- I love the Harman Kardon AVR2600. It is the hub of my home threater system. It was easy to install and hookup. The calibration system makes it ease to hookup all of your speakers.
