KEF Meta Reference 1's? anyboy heard them?

still seeking endgame speakers within non silly money territory, 

these things seems to tick all the boxes, right size for my room, good looking , and lots of local KEF dealers that offer deals below msrp

anybody have opinions on these?

I've had LS50 metas, the active version, was not super impressed with the sound as far as personal preference although I do believe they were an excellent product and absolutely outstanding value proposition

heard them the other day driven by a hegel H390 amp.  

recessed midrange, midbass coloration, poor bass depth and extension.  

at least the metallic treble was gone.  

not a fan of the KEF reference series and consider them some of the worst return on investment in audio.  

check out the Legacy Audio Calibre standmount.  blows the KEF away in every metric.
