As w/ any subjective opinions, such as wine or other things, if it's good to you, that's all that matters. As some have noted, wattage/power is relevant as far sound pressure levels relating to the efficiency of your speakers and the size of your room. If you're in an apartment/condo, no sense in trying to create theater-level sound levels. Good enough is good enough.
My rants are simply an effort to point out to anyone interested, the value proposition of recent models and where they focus, and whether the value is there for some but not for others. If it's a fit, buy it.

Upgrade audio but it's sounded and worked fine for me and no issues for the handful of years I've had it second hand. Thoughts?
Great price but still if what I got already works…. I know there's better audio formats than DD5.1 now on blu rays and UHD but isn't lots of stream service apps DD5.1 max still?

So for basic sound quality & performance, this receiver puts out 75W per channel, which I'd say is pretty anemic. Since it's supposed to be for 7 channels, perhaps that's plenty, but for those wanting to toggle to stereo listening with nicer tower speakers up front, this won't cut it.
I'd much prefer the earlier Denon AVR receivers that focused on their amplification and put out 130+ watts to 5 or 7 channels, and stopped at the lossless codecs, rather than this Atmos silliness.
For optimum performance, input the video source directly into the TV. There is no pre-outs for the main and center channels. This should not be a problem for an average room with speakers rated at +89dB sensitivity. A more robust amplification section would be ideal. Unfortunately, most mainstream consumer products today are geared toward bells and whistles.
