hello everyone,

i am trying to figure out if I want to buy the 2500 or 2600, is the main difference the HDMI and upconversions? would it be profitable to go with the 2600 or just save some money and go with the 2500. some people are telling me to go with the 2600 because its newer and has the newer bells/whistles. im planning on getting axiom epic 80 speakers, which receiver would be best? thanks everyone!!
