Whatever you choose, I highly recommend DPLIIx and/or Logic7 to be able to enjoy 7.1 listening. Most new receivers seem to now offer DPLIIx, and I believe the newer HK receivers offer full functionality Logic7 (can be applied to all sources. Older HKs could only apply Logic7 to 2.0 sources).
From my own listening, once you experience a properly set up 7.1 system, you won't be satisfied with 5.1.
I don't recommend DPLII as it only supports 5.1, not 7.1. And I don't recommend a 6.1 speaker system. If you are going to expand beyond 5.1, go to 7.1.
