i hope you enjoy it. actually the yam 4600 DOES NOT upcode the video like the 2600 does, so i would recommend the lower model over the upper one. i think that the 2600 has stolen a lot of sales away from the upper yam model. the one feature that the higher model has is a built in HD-FM tuner. not sure its worth the extra cost.
To be honest, i wanted the Yam for its preamp / processor features, not the amps. If you read audioholics review, he thought the amp section was fine, but was more impressed with the receiver's preamp section and that this y2600 paired with a separate amp was a killer combo.
yes, the HK has great current output, but i understand that the axioms are an easy load to drive, not like electrostatics, and that any of these receivers would do well with them.
