Need advise, KEF Blade One Meta, B&W 801D4 or Genelec 8361+731A?

Probably not. But when you raise sound level to something like 100dB @3 meters - it will.
No it won’t. The first harmonic is at 20 kHz. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll heat that. And at 100 db music, high frequencies will be down like 20 dB in level because most of the energy is in the bass. So high frequency distortion is unlikely to be an issue.
 
Congrats!! When choosing electrodics for the Blades I found it didn't take much for them to sound good, however when I connected the MC611's the sound reached another level.
 
Kef blades are state of the art well engineered passive speakers, if I had a budget restricted I'd take the genelec, if not the kef , as they are passive you could pair them with state of the art amplification
 
801d4 measurements
It appears to stay in the 3dB+-?
Pd: The scale is 10dB
Pd2: Bass is really good

+1, the B&W 801D4 will do best. It is used in so many mixing studios for some reason.
 
With KEFs reputation for unreliable electronics... I would feel much better spending that much on a perfect passive design.
News to me .. any proof.. or article or ???

Peace.

To be honest i readed a lot of people with problem in its electronics in their subwoofers xD, that being said if even the company don't trust their electronics for giving 5 years warranty, i will neither trust

Those are not anechoic windows so unfortunately don't really tell much.

In which studios are the quite new D4 already used?
