KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable

I had a chance to demo the kef blade two today.  Each were powered by an Arcam mono-block.  Just unbelievable.  I never imagined music could sound this good.  I'm completely changed because of it.  

Here I thought my KEF LS50 w/ Parasound Hint6 & 2 subs was no slouch (and it still sounds good), but the Blades were on another planet.  I can't even describe it.  What a treat.  

So, now I come to you all to help me move on from the LS50s.  I just can't afford the Blades now - no way.  But i'm enamored by the dynamic and just. huge. soundstage.

I like the LS50s - Dynamics, soundstage, depth, detail.  I like how they image being co-axial.  Is there an interim step between the LS50s and Blades that I can step to??  I'd like to keep the Hint6 too.

yyzsantabarbra,

Have you heard anything new about the meta update?  I wonder what’s going to be involved in upgrading my Ref 5’s when the time comes?

All the best.

martinman,

 I still haven’t heard either Blade, but still have hopes. I’m guessing that it doesn’t sound like any other speaker KEF sells. The design is totally different and so are the drivers and crossovers. 
 

All the best.
