KEF Blade 2

Not likely to spend that much on speakers. But if I were……

I have the KEF Reference 5s--very happy with them.  But since I'm always interested in the latest and greatest, I would love to know how the Meta 5s compare to the regular 5s.  Probably much too early for any dealers to have them but if anyone does have a chance to hear the meta 5s (or even the meta 3s) I would be very interested in your thoughts.

Measurements looks good. Dispersion is a little narrow but even. 

How does dispersion translate into what you hear or how you position the speaker?

Best was Luxman M900’s with 509 being a close second. It seems like the Blade2’s are a better match with slightly sweeter amplification 

If you are looking for slightly sweet amps for the Blades then take a look at this one.

I will use the KRELL 175XD, the CODA #16 (plan to upgrade from the #8), or the Benchmark AHB2 monos when I get one of the new KEF Metas (hopefully Blade 2). Sonically I think the Luxman m900u and the KRELL are very similar.

The CODA is not as sweet.
