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

I've tested my 8 inch subs...they will play upstairs in the 100 hz range quite nicely...lm very happy with the results..lm sure a set of blade metas and a six pack of Rel subs would do a better job...lm just so impressed what a 1500.00 dollar LS50 can do with subs..

I agree, based on my experience,  it’s objectively hard to beat ls50 meta and even a single well integrated quality sub for good sound at spl levels most people would typically want. It can be done but not easy especially for the cost.

Having said that, subjectively one never can be sure what will tickle another’s fancy best so that is a totally different story.

I just switched from a pair of LS50 Metas with a pair of KC62s to LS50W IIs with the KC62s. I think the KEF DSP app does a great job of speaker-sub integration, better than I did. This is my first venture into powered speakers, so I may keep Metas or Magnepan LRS with ultraRendu and Ayre A7e as backup.

My primary setup is Reference 1s augmented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s, with Ayre 5/Twenty series electronics. I’m wondering about replacing that setup with LS60 and KC62s. I listen mostly to jazz and classical streamed by Roon at moderate levels. Any advice?

I would think a brand new set of Kef reference 5 meta's in black lacquer would be a great match with your HGS 15's...l can just picture it
