Budget speaker options, help needed.

Hi, I have the choice of trying to upgrade my 40 year old homemade speaker units that have KEF drivers, or using the same limited budget to buy a floorstander.
I have researched and identified two well considered options, one a step above the other. These are the Q Acoustics 3050i and the Paradigm Monitor SE 6000 F. 
I realize that there are many choices around these, however these are available in my country, and represent the limit of what I am prepared to spend.
My source is only vinyl. 
Do other members have experience of these speakers?

Another vote for the Q Acoustics.

I would suggest having a good listen first though as things might not have improved as much as you might wish in the last 40 years. 

I find budget speakers to be more neutral in sound nowadays but often at the expense of dynamics (and life) in comparison to some vintage designs. 

Who knows, those homemade KEF speakers of yours may well still be wonderful.
