Speaker upgrade- but is it?

I have pair of B&W 801 mk III that I bought new over 20 yrs ago. They have served well but I am thinking about a change. I have the KEF L50 Metas with KC62 sub in another house and even though they are set up poorly (sub optimal placement and no room treatments) I am impressed by the sound.

I am considering the R11 Metas.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. I guess I’m a bit worried about losing the “athleticism” of the 801s but I will keep the VMPS Larger sub (2x 15” and 1 x 15 )passive I have to run with the R11’s for bottom end coverage. So should get the positive arbitrage of cleaner, clearer sound while not losing bottom octaves.

The R11’s will have plenty of current with Krell and Crown amps
