I own the older version of Kef Blade twos . The dealer I bought them from has a pair of new Kef Blade twos metas . My wife and I heard them after he had them for about 9 days or so . He had a little over 200 hours on them . They sounded good but not as good as I thought they would . We went back about 2 1/2 weeks later . He had played music on them non-stop . They sounded so much better , it was such a startling difference. The Blade two metas do need a lot of run in time to sound at their best . They are overall better sounding , bigger soundstage , better depth, clarity or transparency is improved . If you read up on them they changed the UniQ driver 12 different ways , they changed 9 parts in the crossover . I do remember when I first got my Kef Blade twos it took about 400 hours for them to sound their best ! Looks like you need that much if not more time to get Metas to shine . Not all speakers are like this obviously. But to my wife and my ears the Blade two metas are noticeably better . This was our experience!
Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade?
I’ve enjoyed my KEF Blade 2 for over 5 years. Just wondering if anyone has compared the Blade/2 Metas to the original and how significant an upgrade in sound observed. With 65 yo ears improving on excellent is not always a sure thing. Thanks so much!
