RE: Those darn measurements !

So now we're getting to the nitty gritty. What you don't like are sub sat setups that aren't designed as a system. I'll assume that list would also include designer systems such as the Bose life style et al?
And now you're stating the KEFs would benefit from the addition of a pair of quality subs? In essence making them a non matching sub/sat setup? Or is it your contention it's only a sub/sat setup if the manufacturer claims it as such?
My point, you dismissed an alarming number of outstanding speakers as if they were beneath you, speakers that will flat out spank your beloved KEFs into next week.
As for the specs I gave you, when was the last time a magazine reviewed a non matching sub/sat setup as a whole system? And if so, if it had specs setting the standards for others to follow, count me in as someone interested enough to check them out.
I find it curious you never bothered to ask what the speakers are, you just decided to dismiss them even though they met the criteria you set forth in your past challenge. De Nile is not just a river in Egypt.
