now that you're working from home...


like most of us I catch myself listening to music more in my office than main listening room after the pandemic. Keeping the minimalistic approach and finding the weakest link (my powered speakers) - what are some good active/powered speakers out there under $1800. I am not into analytical sound signature - more of a class A tube amplifier guy. Willing to compromise some due to limited space (160 sq ft) and digital music. Some on my radar are; Acoustic Energy AE1, Dynaudio Xeo2, Elac Navis, KEF LS50. 

Current office set up:
Dedicated Roon Core - beefed up HP music dedicated laptop 
TIDAL subscription
Metrum Jade DAC 
KRK Rockit 5 powered speakers.

Not interested in separates due to space restrictions.  I know there are some really good active speakers out there in the under $1800 range with excellent A/B amp built in for a sweet sound. Most Inexpensive monitors are very analytical in sound which would not be my preference. Looking for suggestions...
@soix great suggestion. Schitt Aegir has great reviews and possibly paring with Harbeth P3ESR will be sweet. I would hate to clutter my small outdoor glass office with more AV equipment (currently the KRK is mounted on the wall behind my desk). But you got me thinking.
