Different designs, hard to say what you might prefer but would think the smaller Kef speaker may struggle depending on room size. Are you downsizing speakers for a reason?

2 completely different speakers with different strength/weaknesses. This truly is a "get out and listen to them" situation. By all accounts they're both good speakers and the Metas are a cool concept. I wanna check those out.

I don't know if the KEFs will be "better", but I'll bet different enough to feel like you changed something. You have a local B&M with a return policy? I'd say it's worth a test run at home if possible.

I just dont like the sound of the Martin Logan.It is too warm.It might sound weird but i like my speakers bright.Also i dont want big speakers anymore.But i am more concerned about the sound.

I'd definitely do a comparison, in your room if you can, first in any case before making changes. No experience with either speaker other than what I've read about them from users, both have their fans but is there a particular reason for Kef vs other brands?
