Drew, to give you a little more "assurance" about your 2600, you might study the S&V lab test and review which illustrates its excellence. As to it being a refurb, if anything the check it underwent would make it more likely to perform to spec.

Mo, yes I was referring to the max power spec, not the max setting on the volume control. At a low level in the music, even with the volume control at max, the output might be 1 watt or less.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
