He got one! And the final choice was... may I have a drumroll please:

The Yamaha HTR-5540!

In a very close second:

The Pioneer VSX-D711S

And in a respectable third:

The Denon AVR-1603

He ended up going with the Yamaha after talking to the guy at Tweeter (who seemed adement about Yamaha being the best) and trying out the 5560 and being impressed. But instead of spending that extra $300 on a better receiver with features he's never even going to use, he just went with the cheaper one (which did sound great) and is going to look into new speakers next.

The journey (so to speak) is over and in the end, Yamaha reigned supreme. One receiver to rule them all.

Thanks for all your help guys.
