Kenwood KA 7002 or KA 7100, keep which one?

I too have to chime in on this old threat. I've repaired, serviced, and used several KA-7100s and 3 or 4 KA-7002s. I think both are fine sounding amps and I really like both equally. The 7002 has a bit more warmth in my opinion and perhaps more depth. The 7100 seems a bit cleaner (which the specs support) and sounds a little flatter across the frequency spectrum. Performing service and repairs on the KA-7100 is much easier, but the KA-7002 is definitely better built.
I keep one of each in my collection.
