Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

My uncle has Polk 10's in his country house

and always asks me if there is any better, mated there with a Kenwood KR 7600 receiver 2 ch. He says, "boy, are they sweet!!!" His preference is smooth and sweet esp with classical music (mainly Mozart Piano concertos and other symphonic music).

He has a Carver The Receiver with similar traits. His main home system sounds like it's blanketed to me with that receiver, driving Celestion SL6 (mk 1). I don't like it, but he does and loves the FM on that unit. He's really disappointed with his new Yamaha HTR 58xx series receiver, which I rather like for the price anyway.

I haven't heard his Polks in a long time. But I share these observations to help you re the speakers. Run the TV sound through the main system and leave the computer to minimalist unless you must use that for music/games. I would remove the computer from the room to give you space to really enjoy the system.

Aren't you the inmate with cassette decks in a studio?
