A short written review. That has positive praise for these speakers while outlining their faults. Along with a few comparisons.

They are worth what the "sale" price is, nothing more.
The msrp is pure nonsense.

Maybe just the Mocha ones? Black ones are still $149 for me as of now.

Got them because they are bi-amp-able. Been wanting to experiment with that.

You are going to bi-amp these? Why?
That makes almost no difference in even ultra high end models.
(Unless of course you didn't match the amps levels to the tweeter and woofer exactly in which case it will sound different and/or you decide to imagine a difference in which case the sky is the limit for benefits)

Fwiiw These are very budget oriented speakers. The msrp is not a good indicator here. I doubt anyone has ever picked these up for $549.

Mocha was regular price, sale is for black only.

Here is sound test for 503, be your own judge:

Only $149 for these and $350 for the Kefs why not buy both pairs and listen to both for a while . $500 all in is a very affordable way to test them.
Then sell, return or donate to science the pair you enjoyed less.
Make sure to volume match them with a least an spl meter(even an app with work okay for level matching but note the ultimate SPL levels might not be accurate in an app especially for Android but for level matching that is fine) or better yet get a quality Mic and free REW software for more complex level matching.

Maybe bi-amping isn't the right word for what I want to do, which from what I understand is taking two identical amplified signals and sending one to the tweeters and one to the woofers. The theory I'm going of off is if use a crossover and send and amplified signnal of only the frequency range best suited for tweeters to the tweeters and the same for the woofers that would improve the sound. The theory is a driver sounds better if it's not getting signals for frequencies they can't reproduce. I have a Mini-DSP around somewhere, and a $20 flea market HT reciever that will allow me to do this.

This being a budget minded speaker is actually a good thing, it allows me to experiment like this without sinking a whole lot of money.
