It is the minimum receiver that they make which is 7.1, decodes DTS-HD Master Audio and has preamp outputs. The 7.1 may not be needed now, but what if the bug bites you in the future and you decide that's the way to go? You'll be all set for 7.1 with this receiver. If you're using the PS3, it will decode the advanced audio codecs (giving you access to the best fidelity soundtracks). But should you opt for a different Blu-ray player or switch to a different model in the future that bitstreams the advanced audio codecs, this receiver will be able to handle their decoding. And should you decide to keep the amps that you have or decide that you need more power in the future, the preamp outputs have you set for that too.
Besides the above, there's just a solidity about the Denon Home Theater sound that I like. If they'd just make this model without the internal amps (ie, a preamp-only version), I'd be all over it.
