The KEF website states"All the jaw-dropping performance and innovative engineering pioneered for the critically acclaimed LS50 studio monitor, and then some". Interesting that KEF choose to compare their new flagship stand mounter with something a fraction of the price. The Reference 1 looks good on paper, but hearing is believing, we'll worth an audition I would have thought.
And no offence taken Kunter! In fact, you can probably see why I use LS50's with the Blades in a surround system. A KEF Blade is a little impractical as a centre speaker(!) but LS50's each side of the screen work fine, and blend in well sound wise. It has to be said that I take 2 channel fairly seriously, but have a relatively cheap surround system for very occasional movie duties, but the LS50's hold their own.
(And you should hear the Blades with the D800 and SAM!)
