You'll get more helpful recommendations if you disclose your total budget?

You should start with the AVR. The usual suspects is Denon X3800H, which was a little bit worse that the older model AVR-X3700H, so if you can find X3700H cheaper, consider buying it instead. Denon has cheaper models down the line (AVR-S970H), which should be fine for a 5.1.2 setup. What is the cheapest price you can find for any of them?

The x2800h does not offer any pre-outs for the LR speakers. Also I think it has only Audyssey XT, not XT32, I don't have any experience with either, don't know how important that is.

I meant left and right front speakers. I'd suggest you look something from Elac, for fronts Elac DBR62 would be fine. They also have some low budget subwoofers. Have a look at Polk speakers also, they make also some decent tower speakers too, one was reviewed by Amir if I'm not mistaken. If you can find Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary on a sale, that's a good speaker also.
