LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta

I have the LS50s (non meta) since it launched many years ago.  Since then, I've upgraded around the Ls50s -- Parasound Hint6, Mogami wire / interconnects, Technics TT.   For me, the only issue has been that the LS50s are too small for my room, but they're just too a good a platform that I really couldn't want for anything more.    The R series and LS60s have recently piqued my interest.  LS60s are not for me as they are powered and I want a separate amp.  So, I'm wondering if anyone has experience upgrading from the LS50s to something in the R line?

How about the R3 Meta? They possess many of the LS50 Meta's attributes with greater articulation and volume.

I auditioned the R5 and R7 and was left unimpressed. It might have been the associated equipment, but I found the R3 more coherent. That said, I was planning to get the Reference 1 Meta but now is not the right time for me.
