mine are were made in 2020, a couple years before the meta's came out. I did get to hear a pair of blade meta's a couple months ago. I've heard KEF owners talk about how much better the ls50m sounds compared to the original. I didn't really hear another level of resolution between the blades. I suppose someone that's got the perfect room and well matched components could reach the potential, but tbh I'm probably lucky if I'm getting 85% out of any speaker I set up.
KEF Blade One (non-meta) vs One Meta vs Blade 2 for large room
The title pretty much says it except the Blade 2's would be meta versions.
Trying to choose between these 3 speakers to fill a high ceiling (27’) 35’ long and 24’ wide living area. The room opens into a dining room then kitchen and breakfast area, that functionally increases the overall volume.
This is not a dedicated listening room ( I have a Wilson WP based room for that) and yes, aesthetics matter hence these 3 choices.
I’m thinking that the Ones might better fill the space with their bigger driver line-up. That said I doubt that they will be driven as hard as the Wilsons (in a smaller, fully treated room).
It will be very difficult to listen to all 3 so hoping those here with experience with 1 or more of these opine on which might be better suited to the room.
Thanks in advance.
David.
