The 2600 is transparent at levels below its max and doesn't contribute to the "harsh" highs that you mention.
I think you're referring to its spec'd max power. Not its max volume setting, right?

Well I'm getting the tweeters on my vp150 replaced, so thats a start. I think it was caused from playing my system at obscenely loud levels when I first purchased it.
As for Odyssey, I thought that was one of those auto-eq systems. I'll look into them soon.

Yep, you are thinking of Audyssey which is one of the newest auto-setup offerings in many AVR's on the market, it looks pretty promising.
Odyssey Audio is the only US distributor of the famous, and expensive, German Symphonic Line of amps and speakers. Klaus Bunge, the owner of Odyssey Audio, has been the dealer since the 80's. Step ahead into the 90's and he worked out an agreement with Symphonic to make a line of affordable amps in the US under the name Odyssey, using the German design created by world renown designer Rolf Gemein.

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.

Your Denon does not offer Auto Setup and Calibration using the provided microphone? It could be that technology came in later models. Most AVR's today come with a microphone that you place in the primary listening position, run the built in AVR setup routine, which adjusts for delay, dB levels, and sets speakers to "small" or "large" automatically. The latest Denon, Onkyo, and some other AVR's offer the latest Audyssey which was developed by one of the THX founders. It lets you take upto 6 or 8 readings from different locations to get the best sound from all seats. AudysseyAudio

Was the re-furb done at the factory? If so, I would agree with JohnK.

Yeah, it does. Never mind. I got confused. I thought you guys meant Odyssey had auto set-up and that of course didn't make sense to me.
I see now that there was confusion between Audyssey and Odyssey.
