RE: you'll want it if you're blu

Well, if I were going 2-channel only, I would skip the processor entirely and just use a linestage or preamp. I have yet to find a processor that sounds as good on 2-channels as a decent 2-channel only linestage.

I had a couple processors and now I'm back to basic 2-channels. Even if I get another processor with HDMI, I'll use it with my linestage (using the theater pass through) because the volume controls in most processors are inferior to those in a good linestage. And you can easily HEAR the difference, it's quite noticeable.
