Short answer: neither is a clean measurement winner, but the Polk T50 is the budget pick. The Blade Two Meta’s four 6.5in mid-bass drivers and coincident mid/tweeter give matched ~50 degree horizontal dispersion, with a 2dB dip and slight resonance around 200Hz. The T50 delivers pretty deep bass for the price but shows a 5dB peak at 1kHz and a 4dB bright top end from 11kHz on up.
Buy the KEF Blade Two Meta when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Polk T50 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
