I have the:
3. Yamaha HTR-5560
I got it about a month or so ago at Best Buy for like 450 or so. In my short opinion (there are many threads about this receiver from what i've seen)...it's *****ING AMAZING!

Out of that list, I would recommend the Denon 2802. It isn't really a fair comparsion because some of the receivers retail for several hundred less.
But if you can get the Denon 2802 for $500 with a warranty, go ahead.

i'd take Kenwood THX series (forgot the serie's number)
it got THX select, DTS-ES. 6X100 watt
the only downside is, it cost little bit less than $600 at BB

Kenwood 6070
However, the Kenwood VR-5700 and VR-5900 are better than the AVR-2802. The VR5090 might be better, but that's up for debate.

I was actually thinking about upgrading to this Denon reciever. Does it have DD Ex and Dts es ?
also i have a question about placement of a sixth speaker. Right now my seating position is up against the back wall. Should i mount the speaker facing down towards me or face the speaker to the front, towards the tv ?

DPLII, DD (including Matrix 6.1), DTS ES Discrete 6.1, DTS ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo:6.
In terms of the 6th speaker, what you're trying to do is create a difuse rear soundstage with it. I'd suggest experimenting both ways and listening for what sounds better to you. I'm guessing bouncing it off the ceiling or pointing it at you will sound best.

I'll go out on a limb and put my .02 in for the Onkyo. I LOVE Mine, and it isn't even 6.1 (sniff).
