Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More


Hello All

I need some help. I have tried asking this elsewhere but need a group of well-rounded, more brand-agnostic opinions. 

Moved into my home office when covid hit. I needed a quick set up, because it was temporary. Now it's not temporary. So I'm upgrading some things.

I'm in the command chair about 15 hours a day. I'm on video conference meetings an average of 5 hours, the rest of the time is split between music via Tidal, or Amazon Prime TV. So I'm either paying attention to meetings, working on docs projects/sending or answering emails/approvals or projects while listening to music or background TV. 
 
Current Set Up: 2017 13" Macbook Pro > Samsung QN50Q80T > eARC Out > Certified 4k 2.0 USB-C to HDMI > Bluesound Powernode 2i > Kimber 4VS bare wire > KEF Q100s on SoundRiser Pro stands and a Rythmik F12 sub crossed at 80hz sitting in the corner. The home office was a spare bedroom at 11'2" x 9'11" with 8' ceilings. I've added moderate room treatments about 60 sq ft with some bass trap in the ceiling corners. I've gotten a bigger desk 74"W x 39"D and use a desk-sized mouse pad to help with reflections. Also hardwood floors, but I put a runner rug down with carpet pad underneath. 
I am nearfield at the desk, about 36" - 40" from tweeter, and usually the phone dB meter is between 55-65 dB.       

Upgrades Coming: Mac Mini (more ports and faster guts) and NEW SPEAKERS. I just don't know which ones.

Short List (in no order)...
Kef LS50 Meta - about $1500. I like the Q100s but know there is better. The LS50 folks love them, but is there THAT much difference from the Q100 to the LS50 Meta?  
Harbeth P3ESR - $1500-$1700 range used. The Harbeth folks love them, but historically I haven't loved standard 2 way speakers. Something about sitting distance and time alignment.
Omega CAM - about $1500. I had a pair of the Super 3i about 5 years ago and liked the sounds, but had them in my man cave system and they weren't big enough for the room. The Omega alnico guys love them, but I'm not going to use tubes for 15 hours a day.     

Even given the sub I have I wouldn't describe myself as a basshead, but some highs are very unpleasant to me. After a recent hearing test I'm out at 15KHz.

What should I get? ≤$2k and used is ok. I do not live in a part of the country where I can go listen, basically 2+ hours from anywhere.

@desktopguy,

Thank you for that informative post.

Point number 2 is going to be crucial for those of us who are forced to spend long hours at our desks.

Both the Kef 103s and the ATC 12s are a little on the large side for my desk but I'm sure they'd be a big step up from the Dell 2.1 system I currently use.

I bet more than a few people will be looking at the Kef LS50 Wireless II as potential luxury PC speakers.

The OP must count himself fortunate to have such a large room for what might be a second system.

"for those of us who are forced to spend long hours at our desks."

Isn’t the the truth. I’m kind of trying to turn my desk from somewhere I’m forced to be to where I want to be. I started working from home last year on Feb 3rd. Kinda living like hermit ever since. They shut our office down on March 13th. All my work was not constrained to my office location anyway. I had a meeting with my manager a few weeks ago to discuss me not going back, She is fine with that. I’m more connected now than before, fewer interruptions during the day, no commute, lunch is cheaper/easier, and a longer list of other benefits. Plus I can listen to what I want :D
"After a recent hearing test I'm out at 15Khz"
Does that mean you have a hearing deficiency at that range? I can tell you, because i have hearing aids, that it does not matter which speakers you choose, if you have a hearing impairment. You will not hear the area in that frequency range. My hearing test and adjusted hearing aids made all the difference with the enjoyment of my simple audio system.
Quick update if anyone catches this. 
Oh my gosh! Got back from out of town yesterday and spent hours getting everything unpackaged and set up. Watched an episode of the Grand Tour just to ease myself in a bit. I was busy today getting caught up from being gone all week. I left them play Top Gear while I moving around. Just got finished with my list of "test" tracks.

 I'm staggered at the sound.
