The reason why yamaha recommends direct radiating, or even bi-polar surrounds is due to thier proprietary (did i spell that right?) DSP. The A-1 uses a pair of front surrounds and rear surrounds for uses other-than-movies or hometheater. personally, i kinda like them (especially the sports mode).

having dipole speakers in the rear shouldn't be too problematic, although the music dsp settings will suffer. however, i would not personally recommend dipolars in the front.

regarding the denon 5700, that just seems like a different beast. i like some featers, but it lacks other things that are just unacceptable (only one center channel speaker output for example...)

both the a-1 and the 5700 are pretty good, and they both have their shortcomings. pick the one that suites you the best.

good luck
