Nearfield passive speaker recommendations please (ATC SCM11 vs KEF LS50 meta)

Planning on a nearfield setup at my desk. Speakers will be about 4 feet apart and Im 4 feet away. Passives since want to use my pass amp to power them.
So far considering ATC SCM11, 7, kef ls50 meta and proac tablette 10 signature. Any thoughts on these? Would the coaxial driver of the kef be more suited to nearfield than the others with separate drivers?

I just got kef ls50 meta, I am driving it with Cambridge cxa81. I was testing the speakers for the bass it was almost negligible compared to the ones B&W 606 I replaced.  Do I need to be worried and get it checked?

A standard 2 way should be fine for 4 feet away. Coaxials generally shine much more on a desk setting where you may be above or below the tweeter axis and closer than where a 2 way can achieve acoustical summation, so listening distance of say 1-2 feet.
