The (2) per side has increased the image size
I was quite disappointed when I heard KEF Blades. Their image size was likewise shrunken or profoundly distant, too from my perspective even if they were full range.
If you want line source performance, you'll need to get a line source! How about some six foot tall Maggies?

Be careful in judging the blades. I heard them in a living room set up done by KEF people and they were good. But my friend(who designed the original Scaenas) moved them a couple of feet and without fine tuning they were an order of magnitude better, both coloration wise and image wise. There were a few sets of suddenly bigger eyes in the listeners. My friend said he could live with the Blades(he was using large Pipedreams).

It sounds as though I am sitting in the lobby or looking through the wrong end of binoculars.
Edit: Your story does not convey much confidence in the ability of the KEF people either. :)

I suspect you and I have different ideas of what we want in a sound stage. I find large planars to produce too large an image especially on individual sources which would explain why I liked the Blades and you don't.

We definitely have a different perspective of sound stage!
I've never heard any speaker - planar or otherwise - that creates an apparent image larger than that of a full symphony.
