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

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....

I could not tell a difference, but I was using my computers DAC and work headphones.  Anyone hear a difference?

I put my very old KEF LS50 with my newish KC62 and I am very happy with the results. I had this combo in a big room, and it was OK but in my 12 x 11 x 9 office it is spectacular.  Better than the floor stander I had in that small room. Though the same floor stander sounded better than the KEF combo in my big room.

As a Bassist I'm likely spoiled, I've yet to hear speakers that have been positioned for their potential sound staging and their onboard powered subwoofers sound as good as two independent subwoofers located in the rooms two loudest bass modes.
