Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers


I recently purchased a nice set of Ls50 metas off a fellow audiogoner..l have them on 33 in. stands in a large room.They are powered by a Hafler XL600(450x2) @ 4ohm.The metas are rolled off at 140hz.Behind the metas there are 2 line arrays of 6 (12 total)1000 watt velodyne 8In. Sealed subs.next to those there are 4-12 in. Subwoofers in sealed boxes with radiators tuned to 25hz,powered by 2 Crown K2's .l have a Mcintosh front end and lm using electronic crossovers.Everything is in phase,level matched and tweaked... Sounds amazing and effortless. I keep looking at the blades and wondering if there any better at 35,000 dollars...Aesthetically probably yes...Does anyone know if the blades have a better UNI Q driver?

That is one thing I miss about KEF, their coaxial drivers.   I had a pair of RDM 2 and Reference 2,  the original from the early nineties.    Great imaging from small footprint boxes

The little KEFs are great but even with a sub they can not equal the Blades.   No Sub / Sat combo is quite like a good set of floorstanders.
