I would also suggest going out and buying a SPL meter, Radio Shack is the most common place to get one and use it to set all your speakers manually to the same SPL through the Denon speaker set up. This should help with your lack of surround and subwoofer. I also think depending on where you are sitting, your stone pillar in the middle will most certainly affect what you are hearing from the opposite side of the room, changing to direct radiating speakers, IMO, won't help much.

Now that makes a lot of sense to me! I'll try it however I am still thinking of upgrading to the QS8. Definately want to upgrade the SUB to the EP350. These guys have a great trade in program.

The EP350 is a terrific sub and well worth the meny spent and for your size of room, a much needed upgrade IMO.
I also like my QS8s better than the QS4s. To my ears they have a better tonal match to the rest of the Axiom line than the QS4s, subtle difference but better.

There is a very easy way to determine if the Yamaha truely sounds better or if it's just the differences in your rooms... ask your dad if you could borrow it for a day and test them head to head. I personally think you would be much better off spending your money on speaker upgrades, and room treatments. But if you do a head to head comparo between the twoo receivers and decide the Yamaha is the missing link, then by all means it's your money.
But at least demo the Yamaha in your living room before you part ways with your cash, because I really doubt that's your problem.
