I would go with the Meridian 561 as it has nearly the features of the Yamaha receiver - although a few a "manual" such as the speaker level adjustment with an inexpensive SP meter. You will be listening, not to the features, but the design of the system, which the Yamaha will not be able to compare to the 561. I've owned a 561 for about 3 years and think it is truly great. It also has a very comprehensive set-up interface that is accessed via the serial port on the back through a PC. Very easy to use and customize. You would also have more amp options and the 561's can be had fairly inexpensive on the used market. Good luck.
