Which desktop speakers to buy $800

I recently bought the Audioengine A5+'s, but they were a little disappointing. While they do deliver excellent sound, the sound sounds kind of muffled, I assume because of the thick, magnetically shielded shell. I have been looking at the Kef X300A for my next speaker purchase. I just want the best-sounding speakers possible for my desktop computer for around 800 USD.

Also, desktop means nearfield listening, and the Audience The One has a single true full range 2-1/2" driver. No sound coming from the multiple angles of woofers and tweeters. The over-the-counter price of a pair of those raw drivers alone is $390.
