Meta driver

I've had a pair of Kef Reference 1s for a number of years. Is it feasible to have the drivers changed for Meta?

The Meta version has a reworked crossover specifically tuned. You could ruin them. Sell them as they are and get new speakers is a far better choice.

Yep. When companies offer an upgrade path it's highly touted, but the golden law of audiophile upgrades is that it's usually far better to SELL your existing component and then buy an upgraded unit (or something else) as 2 transactions.
