Can someone describe the sound of KEF IQ30's ?

I'm really low on cash...but my Polks are really beginning to irritate me. The B&W 685's or NHT Classic 3's wre high on my list until I was unemployed. Now the price level of the KEF iQ30's seems attractive ($450/pr). Not many reviews. I want to buy NEW speakers not used. The Polk rti28's are really sounding harsh. Maybe my ears have changed. Opinions please on the KEF's

move the polks around a bit..they're fine. don't go sideways or backwards, even if it means not buying anything for awhile.

i read reviews and they are all over the place. here is some straight advice tho.. if you must replace those polks move up an entire notch or two and buy a used set on a gon that will outperform the kef. i am basing this on the reviews i read of them and the knowledge that you can find a 1K used spkr that would open you up to a whole new level over those polks. good luck. it will be the difference between a new chevy and a small barely used bmw.

They are voiced similar to the Polks you currently have. Polk's LSi series is much warmer than the RTi/RTiA.
