Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers

Well my speculation is that if crossed over at high frequency to two or more good powered subs to enable higher spl without breakup,  the metas would get pretty close to Blades in sound.  Just speculating.  Good quality  monitors + powered subs set up well are almost always a more cost effective way to achieve a high level of performance.  Ls 50 metas are very very good…..again within their limits while one would expect Blades to remove those limits. 

the blade use improved driver also the subs are delivering bass from the same point in space as the mid tweeter also the blade cabinet is a

composite

so the blades are still a lot better

No doubt the location of the powered bass drivers on Blade would be a plus and the high quality enclosure also a big plus so the whole Blade UniQ design seems quite unique and not emulated easily with separate sub enclosures instead. One of the few out there I would consider as challengers to Ohm CLS design. Metas have very good dispersion pattern and UniQ driver for coherency which is why I am a KEF fan as well as Ohm these days. But $35k? Ouch. Lots of quality engineering there but still ouch.

I love the blades...l think the LS50's give people a little taste of what there whole product line can do....amazing 

Yeah Blades are one of very few speakers in their price class that I would seriously consider owning. I love how KEF puts out extensive well written technical white papers to help explain and demonstrate (with metrics) how their products work and perform and how the design and technical innovation makes them unique. That’s the Engineer in me speaking.
