I think you should just try it and see what you think. My local store has a 30 day return policy and I think that is pretty standard. Another minor annoyance is the remote on the HK. It's receiver functions are fine, but as a universal it's pretty annoying. I really like the remote on the Kenwood, it is one of those ones that glow blue with no real buttons. It's kind've funny because all my friends think it is some outrageously expensive receiver just because of the remote. For your cabinet though the HK runs great it never even got warm and it is light enough to stack on other devices if you need to.
