Short answer: the KEF Blade Two Meta is the proven choice, measured and ranked among floorstanding speakers, while the newer JBL 4369 has no independent measurements yet and can only be compared on specs.
What the JBL 4369 offers: A two-way floorstanding studio monitor with a 15” 2219Nd-1 Differential Drive woofer and the 3” D2830B dual-diaphragm compression driver on a Sonoglass HDI horn, crossed over at 800Hz.
What the KEF Blade Two Meta brings: True point-source coaxial design (four 6.5in mid-bass drivers flanking a coincident mid/tweeter) with matched ~50 degree horizontal and vertical dispersion, unusual for a multi-driver speaker.
On paper: The JBL 4369 is more sensitive, 93dB against 86.8dB, so it needs less amplifier power to play loud.
Price: the JBL 4369 lists at $25,000 and the KEF Blade Two Meta at $28,000.
Buy the KEF Blade Two Meta if you want a speaker whose sound quality has been measured and ranked.
Buy the JBL 4369 if you want higher sensitivity, and you can wait for measurements to confirm how it sounds.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL 4369: $25,000 per pair eBay
Older model: the JBL 4367 (rated 4.6/5).
Pros: A two-way floorstanding studio monitor with a 15” 2219Nd-1 Differential Drive woofer and the 3” D2830B dual-diaphragm compression driver on a Sonoglass HDI horn, crossed over at 800Hz. JBL rates it at 93dB sensitivity, very easy to drive, with a 6 ohm load and response to 28Hz (-6dB) from its front ports. Front panel trims adjust the high and ultra-high frequencies.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. It weighs 63.5 kg each, stands 1.12 m tall, and is sold only through JBL Synthesis dealers at a flagship price.

KEF Blade Two Meta: $28000 per pair only sold in stores eBay
Pros: True point-source coaxial design (four 6.5in mid-bass drivers flanking a coincident mid/tweeter) with matched ~50 degree horizontal and vertical dispersion, unusual for a multi-driver speaker. Fully rounded, edgeless cabinet eliminates baffle diffraction. Frequency response holds within about 2.5dB across the listening window. Extremely low harmonic and multitone distortion even at 96dB, with under 0.5dB of compression at full output, rivaling the Reference 1 Meta and JBL 4367 in dynamic range. Reviewer described the imaging and soundstage depth as revealing recording details other speakers he tested (PS Audio FR10, MoFi SourcePoint 8, Neumann KH80) masked. Available in any custom finish at no extra charge. Measured bass extension of 31Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 86.8dB.
Cons: 2dB dip and slight resonance around 200Hz, also visible in KEF white paper and likely cabinet-related. Bass rolls off fairly quickly below its 31Hz F3. Horizontal dispersion (~50 degrees) is narrower than the reviewer preferred 70-80 degrees; benefits from toeing out 10-20 degrees to open soundstage without losing image focus. Needs a separate power amp, not AVR-friendly.
