I looked at all of the above amplifiers when searching for a new reciever and for the money I went for the Marantz SR6006, which I got from Peter Tyson for £549 with a free 3 year warranty.
Its been nothing short of stunning. Music, movies whatever source its fantastic.
I previously had a Sony STR-DA5200es, which itself was a 5 * what hifi award winner and the Marantz wipes the floor with it
It may not have access to spotify and all the other gimmiky stuff, but in terms of actual A/V performance its stunning.
I know its not one that you were looking at but I would seriously recommend it for an audition
