Desktop Speakers - New Tannoy Golds versus Adam, Vanatoo etc

Looking to buy some new desktop speakers for a smallish desk in my office.  I have a calyx coffee dac.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the new Tannoy Gold desktop monitors:  https://darko.audio/2019/10/tannoy-goes-for-active-gold/

The Vanatoo transparent zero speakers are also highly reviewed.  I've also heard good things about Adam audio.  Budget is around $300-400.  Not interested in audioengine.

If anyone has got some suggestions it would be highly appreciated.  I will mostly be streaming bbc radio 6 and electronic dj mixes so some deep bass wouldn't go a miss.

Appreciate your time,
Paul

Thanks for replies, quarantine is stopping auditioning unfortunately!  Will probably pull the trigger on a pair of Vanatoo's.  The other brand that appealed to me is Eve Audio, but they are expensive here $649.  Dumb question, but if purchased from the UK would you need a voltage converter to use in USA?   Wondering if you get away with a power pack

Thanks for the replies, yes definitely active is the  way to go for my small desk.   I might take a trip to guitar center and listen to the Adam T5V.  Please pitch in if anyone has compared the above, cheers
