KEF, who put different versions of the Blade speaker in a few rooms–they’ve never sounded better to me.

Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade?
I’ve enjoyed my KEF Blade 2 for over 5 years. Just wondering if anyone has compared the Blade/2 Metas to the original and how significant an upgrade in sound observed. With 65 yo ears improving on excellent is not always a sure thing. Thanks so much!

Any of you Blades owners use 2 stereo amps with Blades. That is 1 amp on the L and R high frequency speaker connection and a second stereo amp for the L and R woofers. I have an amp that I really like, the KRELL 175XD, but I want to have more power for the Blades (when I get it) than that amp delivers. I was wondering if getting a KRELL 300XD just for the woofers would be similar to getting a very powerful amp that can double from 8-4-2 Ohm. Getting a second KRELL amp would be cheaper than the other 'super amp' options I was considering.

????????????? I just looked up the specs on the 175XD and the 300XD and the gain is exactly the same....26.2db. They will play together perfectly. And the output impedance is so low in both of them that it won’t have any effect on gain or frequency response as well. You are good to go....unless there is some other issue. Input sensitivity means how much input voltage gives full power from the amp.....since the 300 can put out more power then you need more voltage to get ALL of its power.........What is important is the actual GAIN of the amps.....and they are the same.....so biamping with them is perfectly fine. |
Well I read the part about input sensitivity and output impedance on the internet. I thought everything on the net was true. Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping Explained - How To Improve Your Audio Setup | Audio Advice
Your post is encouraging I also asked KRELL today the same question. My CODA 07x preamp also has dual XLR outputs so I can easily send 2 stereo amps the same signal.
