Michael:
Toying with change is always fun! Oh man, both the KEF Blades and the Focals would be statement speakers.
I can't tell from your picture, but how big is your room? If smaller, I suspect the dual side-firing woofers of the Focals might be easier to deal with than the woofer in the Focal. That said, both the Focal and the Blade have some unique technology that the other does not have. What a problem to try to solve! ;-)
What are your thoughts?
