HT Receiver Recommendations & Denon Question

Hello, I'm looking for a HT receiver that will fit in my shelving unit, which is exactly 17 and 1/4 inches deep. I would like zone 2 speaker outputs and pre outputs, and around 100 WPC. There are a lot of models which have this, most every 7.1 receiver qualifies, but none except the Denon units appear to meet the 17.25" depth requirement (which by the way should include volume knobs and connectors on the back). Does anyone have a recommendation?

As for my Denon question, I have seen conflicting stats for the Denon, the website lists the AVR-2805 and AVR-2105 as 16.4" deep, but other websites and Etailers list these as 17.5" deep. Does anyone have one and can you post measurements which INCLUDE the volume knobs and connectors on the back?

Don't forget that banana plugs can add another inch in depth!
Also, many manufacturers tend to claim that they have zone 2 capabilities and don't really. Yamaha,Sony and Integra have zone 2 outs but no volume control and limited switching for most units. You will get better zone 2 from denon and marantz.
