Harman/Kardon AVR 2600
$699.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Looks good - has a sophisticated, streamlined aesthetic. Great sound quality. Cleverly designed buttons - thin and out of sight.
The Cons:High price point for what it is. Lacks audio return channel despite having HDMI 1.4a. The two-tone color scheme isn't for everyone.
