My choice would be the KEF's..... but I don't see why that would matter to you....... It's your ears that have to listen to them........

A little detail might help. Main use, what is your room like, preference on your part for sound, other components being used?

I had rc50s. Good speaker but the iq90s I have now are much better IMO. More detail and wayyyy better midrange.
The iq90s are a true 3 way design.
