What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta?

@rbstehno confused by your statement. Why do you want me to trade in a $6500 amplifier for a $6000 all-in-one speakers. The LS 50s sound great. I just was trying to be more in line with the cost of amplifier and speaker synergy.  

@zlone love the idea of reference ones, I just don’t have the cheddar to make that happen. Definitely a someday save. Like the idea of a ribbon tweeters Is why I am looking at the monitor.

Understood, they are a bit pricey. The non-meta's can be found used in the $4K range, but still a chunk of change.

bookshelf speakers only

Are that many people unable to read or comprehend? I have those Monitor Audio speakers and really like them. 

Omg!  Easy, if you likes the LS50s then climb up to the R series.  The R3 is very well reviewed out there in TV Land aka YouTube.  Even better if you have the room and funds to climb up higher the R ladder…
Afterwards, just send me beer money! 🤡
