Is this the same room as the NS5000 or a different room? If it is a different room then I think a KEF LS50 regular or Meta is great. However, I would not put it on the desk I would put the 3 monitors up against the wall and then the speakers behind me. It is great this way. I have tried LS50’s, Audience 1+1 V3, and Audioengine 2 on my desktop and they were only adequate. Putting the LS50 behind me was a fantastic improvement.

Now if your NS5000 are in the same room as these computer monitors send me a PM and I will give you more info of someone local to you who will make them sing. I just did this and it is shocking how incredible the improvements are in my small room. I believe your NS5000 are in a small room from our past conversation.
BTW - the Thiel CS3.7 and the NS5000 were my finalist for my office but since the office is so small I went with the slightly less bass heavy CS3.7. Still considering the NS5000 for my downstairs in 2021.
