So in comparison to what I'm used to, the KEF's bring back the clarity factor the Infinity's had with a nice diffraction-free open sounstage and of course the surround

but the trade off is ok given the seamless surround and cool look.

If your serious about getting a great surround sound system do not go any farther, you found it.

For the satellites (4), I purchased the optional floor stands (another $400 for a set of 4); it was pricey, but allows me to space them around the room for proper surround effect
