Pre/pro comparison, Rotel and H/K

for anyone who is familiar with these two units please give me your feedback.
I'm deciding between the Harman Kardon Signature 2.0, the Parasound AVC-1800 and the Rotel RTC-965.
They are the same price. Normally I would go for the rotel or parasound, just because of their reputation, but H/K's original retail price was 2,100, the parasound's was 1200, the rotel's was 900 I believe. And while there are some units offer a better bang for the buck, for the most part you usually get what you pay for; so I am wondering what the difference is. (It's possible that the H/K is just an older unit, and so the same decoding and other features just cost more then)
I would list the specs, but I really don't care for the opinion of anyone who isnt familiar with the units, because I can speculate just as well as anyone else can I believe.

The H/K was basically overpriced. It's not a bad unit if you get a working one but they had a ton of problems with the Signature Series stuff when it came out. I haven't had any experience with the Parasound or Rotel Models.
