Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?

Hello folks!
In my never ending search for the perfect sound, given my limited budget...

Currently I am using a pair of Paradigm Monitors I bought in the late eighties and shockingly they still sound great to me but am in the "upgrade itis" situation, amp is the Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated. 

I am considering 2 speakers, the Kef Q 750 and the Tannoy Revolution XT 6F.
Can anyioe advise, have you heard both? 
I understand that the Kefs are the absolute entree level, but with 2 kids in college, that's the budget boys and girls!

Let me know what you all think please!

Well said gentlemen, and as for veneer, I am not sure anyone can keep natural boards flat enough to make solid wood cabinets! But then again, I am not a cabinet maker!

No the Q series have a veneer which is very polished it may be wood but looks like plastic and they have ridiculous bass punch that was our point vs R series.

Yes the Tannoys are very good and do tend to sound quite dynamic.

The new Q series are one of the most technologically advanced speakers at their price point and the new Q tend to sound smoother then the LS 50 but dont have their superor clarity.

So Bill Fail you failed again. The cabinetry on the R are fantastic.

Again sold Tannoys for years always liked them.
