KEF LS50 meta vs Other speakers

[Fatmarley]

To my eyes the Gold badge actually looks more tipped up in the 5k-13kHz area than the Silver badge, but the Gold badge also has more lower midrange / upper bass output which will probably make them sound more balanced.

Without an accurate low frequency response measurement, it's impossible to say, but even then, I can't imagine any loudspeaker designer who would adjust baffle step compensation only by using measurements (although you may get away with it if the frequency response is ruler flat). But in reality, you just have to use your ears.
