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

I'm so hesitant to buy used speakers

I will have to check Energy. They seem to have some good speakers at lower price points. The Polks are fine..I'm just noticing things of late. Also, I plan on keeping them for spares (when I get a house) so I could always go back. I thought that maybe the KEF's may be a good, lower cost alternative to the B&W 685. I'll do searches on the Energys

I am only hesitant because I have reservations about how others may have driven the speakers. I'm not saying goners would sell me junk....I have my extra Polks for sale here on Audiogon. The speakers sound fine under most normal playing conditions. When I play a low volume test tone CD, I get drastic static at only certain frequencies. I play the same CD on my main set, no static.

I'm also looking at the NHT Classic 3's. Some retailers are already marking down the prices.
