I have a Marantz receiver (same company as Denon) which feeds a 9.1 system with Dolby Atmos. I still have all the problems this article says, including visual issues with dark scenes in a dedicated, dark video room. The system has been tuned and retuned and nothing can be done about the terrible inputs from these misguided filmmakers, IMO. It is similar to the modern music mixing style of compressing the heck out of everything and minimimizing most dynamic range.
One thing that helped a lot was to add 6dB gain to the center channel. Sometimes that is enough, since the voice is usually put on that channel. I became an expert in navigating the menus to change that one volume, then discovered the Android app that makes it easier.
