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!

My opinion of passive is that they are being used as ports and are not connected up to the speaker terminals. But I guess with these speakers they are all connected.

Well thanks for that clarification. It sure sounded like the reviewer claimed there was only 2 active woofers.

Are you sure? I think 2 of them are passive.

I just read the Stereophile review.

Now I know hi-brow music is what most reviewers use to evaluate audio equipment. But I honestly could not relate to the music that Kal used.

Can't he find some Rock Music? I mean with only 2-6" woofers and such a low sensitivity and impedance it would have been interesting how they performed. Especially given that they are $29,000.
