    hi and welcome to the forums. You're not giving us any specifics. Do you like movies, music? What's your listening ratio for each? What are your room/wall characteristics? What type of sound do you like: direct or diffuse? Do you have a sub? If not, why?

    Let your own ears be the judge. They can do a much better job than we can.

    Revel Performa M-20
    Velodyne cht-10 sub

    I've been thinking about your setup a little more. What brands do you have available, other than Denon?
    It would seem that a separate preamplifier/processor and an amplifier would be better for any of the systems you are considering.
    You mentioned, in your other thread, that you would like to spend approximately $3000 to power/run your speakers. Your speakers would like it more if you were able to give them something a little better than the power given by a receiver. Either of the Denons you mention would be fine choices, but getting separates for the same price will give you better results.
    I'm not sure how many of these will be available to you, but a short list would be: Parasound, Integra, Rotel, B&K, and maybe some others.

    If you have to go with the Denon, I would go with choice number three and the avc-a1sra. It would be difficult to justify all of the features available on the a11xv.

    A couple more quick questions:

    -What is the size and shape of your listening/watching room? This might give us a little more info to point you in the right direction.
    -Are you planning to add a subwoofer as well to your surround setup?

    Out of those choices, I would go for the 3rd combination, and add a subwoofer.
