IMO the Polks have better bottom end, but in my experience I could never get a set to last longer than about 6 months or so. In fact, after the third set I went with the Kappa's. That was a couple of years back, maybe they've fixed the problem by now with the Polks. The Kappa's aren't bad, and I ran them for at least a year. They sound 'brighter' to me.

I ran the Polks and the Kappas, overall I give the nod to the Infinity speakers. They were louder, no crossovers to mount, and they don't have the failure issues. This time I saved up a bit and bought Hertz HSK165s, better than both the others!
