After more careful listening I noticed a subtle loss in the sense of space and detail. I removed the high-pass filtering, so there's nothing between the KX-5 and VX-5. Although I'm using four subs with 4th order low-pass at 80 Hz, the KEF Ref 1s seem to have in-room extension to just below 30 Hz before rolling off sharply. I was surprised they could go that low. For the music I most enjoy, baroque and classical chamber and jazz, the subs are not needed.
