I've had the VSX-21TXH for about 2 months. I don't have a lot of experience with receivers, so I'm not much help here. I'm not dissappointed in the power it puts out, sometimes I get really impressed with the power output, as in loud and deep bass in some material out of M22's.
I'm satisfied with straight stereo for music and Neo: 6 Cinema for movies. I'm somewhat satisfied with the tuner quality, but I may look into getting a higher quality antenna sometime. So far, I haven't had any problems with it.
Edit: The MCACC equalizer does a good job of improving sound quality. I used the front stage stereo settings for a while, but switched to straight stereo for a more realistic quality. I do turn on the sound retriever. It enhances bass and treble without going overboard.
