Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Interesting even experts seem to have different opinions...Johan Coorg from Kef itself said in his home he preferred the Two, the big Blade overloaded his room he said, needing room treatment, the Two just fit right in...No specs on his room howev...

Thx Jetter, but I am not in US, so importing them would cost me a fortune...david_ten, I live alone 😎, my current speakers are bigger then the Blades 🤪

Whitestix, the big blades or the two? 😎

Hegel with Blade was probably Blade 2...To get back on topic...🙂 This post wasn’t really Kef Blade vs Vivid Giya but Kef Blade one vs two...😎 Anyone else had a chance to compare both? Thx 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
To be fair, I did not get to play my own music on the big giyas... so that could put them at a disadvantage to reach me emotionally... Price difference is there though... the smaller and less pricey giyas simply put the soundstage too low for me...

Audiotroy, Kef Blades and Vivid Giya indeed both use the side woofer vibration cancelling arangement. Hower the coaxial midrange tweeter horn loaded in the blade vs the multiple domes in the vivid giyas are very different. Also in crossover topolo...

I forgot to ask, which one is best suited for low level listening? 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Hello Audiotroy, rest of my system consists of Halcro DM10 preamp, and T+A MP3000 HV cdplayer, audioquest wild wood speaker cable.With this system my BW800 matrixes sound more detailed and effortless louder then before, but much less warm as well ...

Thx, for your replies guys! I heard both blades in closed rooms much wider then mine...As stated my L shaped room is only 4.8 meters wide, would this pose a problem? I would like to put them in same position as my current speakers: My bw 800 matri... 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
There was indeed a KCT listed on ebay at 3800 euro but not sold...Anyway I got other speakers (infinity gamma's) but same problem, more speed though but air is still not great.Now I first have to sell the speakers before I can try a new cd or prea... 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
Well I tried the same setup but with different speakers... (smaller hifi speakers I own, and which I know can sound rather bright) and the sound still lacks air... so any other recommendations for system change regarding cdplayer or preamp then?thx! 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
One of the reasons my system lacks air maybe impedance mismatch?MC 500 has imput impedance of 10kOhms (not specified if it doubles for balanced or not). The levinsons (331 etc and 432) all have 100k balanced and 50k single ended... so this is what...

I am sure the newer gear will sound even better then the one in my question but it's out of my budget, but back to that question...if I keep speakers and amp, which pre af the above would help me the most going to a faster and more involving syste... 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
The only way I can audition anything in my system is if I buy it :)...I am however listening with accuphase directy to power amp and then to the whole system but with different smaller hifi speakers to identify the component in the chain that is t...

Another option would be the audio researc ls25 MII for 2100 euro...
