The reason you probably didn't get much response is that its tough to do short of writing a book. So much depends on something very personal to you...What do you really want to get out of your system and how good are your listening skills. By way of example.....
I've have a good system, good listening skills, and reasonable expectations and am quite satisfied with the components I use, all seperates, because of the flexibility it allows me, as well as the quality of their sound and the synergy they create. I recently purchased an inexpensive, medium powered tube integrated, thats sort of idiot proof but can easily be voiced by tube rolling, and when I'm not listening very carefully I don't know what I'm missing, and for a more casual listener I quite confident they might actually prefer this little integrated.
You have mentioned the "sonic signature" of the Polks. For those of us who haven't owned them, or listened to them extensively in our own rooms, what exactly is their "sonic signature". When you can answer that question without describing your electronics or the room you are hearing the speakers in or their set up, or conversely describing all of those things exactly, we have a starting point.
Perhaps you could re-think your question and rephrase it so that specific answers are possible. Folks here usually chomp at the bit to give advise............
