My experience with KEF blade speakers is that they need a lively room. This room has carpet on the floor (OK), and curtains side wall and back walls (not so good). So as a result it did not make for great performance.

Family (Live In Kysten Studio) by Oh!. https://shz.am/t59659913

OK. Sitting too close to speakers.

He switched to external DAC. It sounded the same to me but others thought it was better.

Muddy Waters by LP. https://shz.am/t288073954

Great track but still dull together with poor bass. Soundstage small and between the two speakers.
