Hi BumbaAudio,
I don't think you'd be disappointed with any of these, but I'd say your best bet is going to be the Denon, though the Yamaha is a great value at $2199. Have you considered Arcam? The AVR550 is just a bit more than the Denon and has a far superior room correction platform (Dirac Live) and amplifier section. I'll send you a PM with our contact info if you require further assistance.
Take care,
-David
