No, because they're NOT "custom-designed" for your ears.
"....I’m curious how the sub integration will change with the new metas. Maybe no longer needed? Seems possible from what I read...."

It’s interesting that the original LS50 and LS50 Meta have the same specifications of Freq Range (-6dB) = 47Hz - 45KHz and Freq. Response (+/-3dB) = 79Hz - 28kHz. However, the LS50 Meta adds Typical In-Room Bass Response (-6dB) = 26Hz.

Both speakers use a 5.25" woofer with rear port. and I doubt that bass performance has changed all that much. Kef did change the crossover and revised the port in addition to adding the Meta element for the tweeter backwave. If the LS50 Meta does indeed have enhanced bass capability that should have resulted in improved (Freq Range (-6dB) and Freq Response (+/-3dB) numbers.

Keep us posted on your findings.
