Kef Blade to Blade meta?
I've gone as far as reaching out to KEF directly to find a pair to demo, unfortunately their choice of retailer, best buy, doesn't hire the most savvy sales rep's so the list of stores that the KEF rep told me had the meta's was incorrect and I haven't been able to find a pair to listen to. I'm not even sure what I'd like improved in the meta's, If anyone can describe the differences they hear in the blade meta's and what listening conditions were at the time I'd appreciate it. tia
Yyz’s comment about the Reference 5 sounding different matches the measurements I have seen. Stereophile has in room measurements of both laid on top of each other and the reference 5 had a lot more in room high frequency roll off. I feel the Referance 3 on up to include the blades have the same house sound. The blades image and stage better but the Reference line is still good. As a whole both speakers lacked that last bit of detail to my ear. |
@steve59 A speedy recovery. The last bit of detail is what I also feel the KEF aluminum drivers lack with respect to something like a Paradigm Persona's Beryllium drivers. Definitely more detail but you need a warm amp. My Yamaha NS5000 with the Zylon drivers are just as detailed as the Persona but not fatiguing. Saying all of that the Blades are still by all-time fav speaker because of the soundstage. I can actually buy the Blade now since my kid is old enough and the wife and dog are not as crazy in the audio Livingroom when they play. However, I am staying with the NS5000 since I love those Zylon drivers and always am happy when I hear the system.
