IMHO see if you can audition the Sonus Faber Electa Amators. Nice to look at, fast, tonally correct, and great imaging.

polks are quite good. if you like'em, stay there. gradient makes a very nice acoustic suspension bookshelf speaker that works well with krell. it uses the same unisource driver that is in the big revolution. smooth, acurate and far less money than a comparable sonus faber.

When I bought my pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's the dealer was using the 400xi to drive them. The sound was very good. You wrote that you "don't have time for an audition." You are using a quality integrated amp that strongly calls for an audition when looking for a pair of speakers.
