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

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

It's common knowledge that no speaker does everything... l just wanted to Say that Paul McGowan CEO of PS Audio, who can have whatever he wants chooses a pair of LS50's with a sub for his personal home for general listening...that alone means something 

Advice to myself:  Reference 1s augmented by HGS-15s with Ayre gear sounds so good I'd be a fool to replace it.  The Reference 1s are high-passed, the HGS-15s acoustic room corrected.

I would keep what you have...your reference 1's are light years better than LS50'S.....Everyone knows after a certain level in high end audio you start splitting hairs for 10's of thousands of dollars...One of my best purchases this year was a new high end chair for my listening room....
