Kef Blade to Blade meta?

@steve59 A speedy recovery.

The last bit of detail is what I also feel the KEF aluminum drivers lack with respect to something like a Paradigm Persona's Beryllium drivers. Definitely more detail but you need a warm amp.

My Yamaha NS5000 with the Zylon drivers are just as detailed as the Persona but not fatiguing. 

Saying all of that the Blades are still by all-time fav speaker because of the soundstage. I can actually buy the Blade now since my kid is old enough and the wife and dog are not as crazy in the audio Livingroom when they play. However, I am staying with the NS5000 since I love those Zylon drivers and always am happy when I hear the system.

Had the Blade 1s (non meta). They were great. Heard the meta afterwards. My old ears couldn't hear any difference. Got rid of the Blades for a pr of hORNS Universum MK4s. Much happier 😀💲💲😀

I resolved this detail sensation you guys are describing with other gear... NOT changing the speakers themselves.

I made a bunch of tweaks, suspended them on townshend isolation, and matched them up with silver speaker cables from stealth audio

The cables swap from copper to silver made the biggest difference of all.

I never ask for more detail now. Very satisfied

james633, yyz, Thanks for the well wishes I've always found kef speakers to have lots of detail, but not the micro detail that others manage so well. I did wonder if the new meta tweeter addressed it. audiojacks, i'm starting to think either will be the kef house sound. questforhifi, I haven't heard enough from cables i'm willing to pay for to think the whole of my system is dialed in enough yet. i'll keep cables in mind

Coming up for air. Am I allowed to plug a local hifi shop? I had an appt to listen to the latest Epikore to land in the USA the day after my crash. Several days later I sent a text to let them know why I missed the appt and the shop owner I was talking to wanted to bring me a system from their shop so I'd have music while I was confined to a couch in the living room. I declined the offer, but they should get a shout out SS in Palatine, thank you.
