Of these three receivers/integrated amps, which one should I get?

Hey,
The kenwood wins the power and price vote but I'd go with the h-k if I could get that price down.
If the h-k is like mine the knobs/push buttons are gonna need a serious cleaning. But now I think about it the ka-501 that I have is a noisey son of a gun too.
I also have a 2230 that never impressed me but it probably needed some updating. So don't hold my negative remarks on the Marantz sway your decision. Eric
 
The specs of the Kenwood amp are superior to the Marantz. Check out specs at hifiengine.com. Registration is free. If you don't use a tuner why put money into it. The Marantz is pretty weak on power.
