The speakers themselves seem pretty comparable on paper. I wouldn't expect a ton of low end from either one to be honest. The KEF's are nicer looking being wall mounted. If anything, this isn't really an upgrade, but more of a lateral move, mostly for appearances it seems. $1k for satellite's and a tiny subwoofer is not really a great value, imo. And that's with it on sale. If I were you, I'd save and make a true upgrade to bookshelves or towers and maybe in-walls for the surrounds if possible or bipboles for the rear surrounds, mounting them about 2 feet above ear level. And then go with a real subwoofer from SVS or HSU. How big is your room?
