I agree that the aforementioned Britisch speakers look a bit outdated. But many find that a charm. And be aware, and here I want to stress, the technology in these speakers is very recent and very up to date. So you have classic cabinets with modern speaker technology.
Then next, the main thing about Kef is that their tweeter is in the middle of the mid-range (uniQ design) which gives them the clean integration. And about floorstanders or not: there is not one 'class' that is better than the rest. In fact, contradictory of what has been written above, many speaker designers will tell you that a two-way design is almost always better designed than a three-way design since the latter is much more complex in the crossover. It's often better to have a two-way bookshelf, if needed complemented with a sub for larger listening rooms, then to go for a large three-way design. Of course some think otherwise.
Finally, to my ears, in case you really care about authenticity to the source then you should go with Dynaudio.
