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

Question, what kind of music and what volumes do you listen? With the LS 50’s, you really need a subwoofer for them to blossom. The Blade Meta’s are crossed at 350 and 2000 And the Reference 5 meta’s are crossed at 450 and 2100. I have the 5’s and almost never turn on the subwoofer. I’d assume the Blade Meta’s would be the same.

All the best.

I listen to female vocals and jazz..Diana krall love scenes SACD tracks 10 and 11...l like it 80-90 db with 106 peaks in my seat...l don't care for rock music on my metas l have other systems for that...

IMO...the metas are about as revealing a speaker as l have owned...lf lm going to play poorly recorded music l go in the garage and listen to my JBL'S...The metas don't throw a sound stage like my full range speakers but they have this "pin point accuracy " like no other...l will never sell them..

The little KEFs are great but even with a sub they can not equal the Blades.   No Sub / Sat combo is quite like a good set of floorstanders.   

That is one thing I miss about KEF, their coaxial drivers.   I had a pair of RDM 2 and Reference 2,  the original from the early nineties.    Great imaging from small footprint boxes
