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.

A hard and fast rule for me. If a speaker sounds good in a show room or in ANY room, I can make it sound good in my room. It has never failed. The room and grid is 50% of the sound. The rest is Speakers, Gear, cabling, and placement.

Several times friends having issues with speakers use to bring them to the shop. 30 minutes later they were happy unless there was a speaker driver issue. It was always THEIR room and a lack of certain treatments in that room. Usually the partner was the biggest problem, it wasn't an issue to be fixed either. Loose the partner or fix the room. Make a choice. I always choose the room, loose the crap head partner, life is way to short.. LOL Dog, Rabbit and the same partner for 49 years. WAY to long.. Been dealing with a whopper for the last 3 weeks.

Merry Christmas and happy gift give away. I like watching kids and the dog open presents.. Nothing better.
