I search for some active speakers several monts.
Max price I'm ready to pay is 300 euro... And searching for Audioengine A5+, Kanto YU4/YU6 I found those speakers and looks like they are maybe even best. Off course you can't compare 350$ worth speakers with Wharfedale Active Diamond A1 worth double.
https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-zero/ I contact store and got dissapointed information. They are available only for USA.
Very dissapointed because looks like they are good, really good. It's not problem to buy them. It's problem custom tax.
From UK and Germany I could find who will buy and bring them...
Because of that I left topic for you, if you need speakers and sound quality at least 1/3 of your graphic card power...
I always dig some good things and I suppose they are worth of investment...

SpecificationsVanatoo is proud of the performance and features we’ve managed to pack into these compact size speakers. Transparent Zero speakers have an impressively flat frequency response curve. When measuring how well a speaker faithfully and accurately reproduces the sound as it was recorded, the flatter the frequency response curve, the better.
