An ideal (minimal) 2.1 setup

I'm more interested in the distinct sound signature differences between the two.

I guess the movies are more casual than anything serious (not looking for theater loudness). More priority to music to I would place the speakers apart for music and not have a center as I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible. For the KEFs it would be out from TV since its an active. 

Seems like a lot of KEF fans. Any reason why Spendor's are not a better match? Atheistically love the look of them as well.

Thanks, I think the last few posts got my dilemma! I don't care much for bass. I'll go with Spendors then.
