I bought this Denon on sale about two years ago to complement my Yamaha rxv-1500 receiver home audio system. The Yamaha is rated at about 110 watts by 7 channels. To my surprise, the Denon dra 37 blew away the yamaha in all aspects (the yamaha is sitting on the audio stand, just for looks lol). Its been pure love since then. I recently added klipsch speakers to speaker B terminals, and the sound is all good. Denon receivers rocks. I'm staying with 2 channel stereo systems, and never going back. If you like audio, then you will LOVE this denon.
