Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on a deal and decided to pair them with new Klipsch speakers. This has been a great set up, especially when paired with the Phillips Hue lights that are reactive to the TV image.

Inexpensive 7.1
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing deal for premium sound. Only downside is lack of active cooling but this is remedied by adding a simple fan to the grill up top. Drives all the Sony speakers that that it is rated for

Almost Prefect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for movies and TV 99% of the time. Good receiver, good power. Separates 5.1 sound through 7.1 speakers, unlike previous Denon I had. Hwoecer, bafflingly, it doesn’t have wireless or even wired Ethernet capability.

- Pros mentioned:Dolby atmos
Atmos performance with a budget
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great AV system, and I was able to setup my dolby atmos 7.2 environment with ease. One downside would be there is no hdmi 2.1 so it lacks some future proofing (4k @ 120hz).
