KEF LS50 Meta or Q350?

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my near field listening experience in my work/gaming setup. I have been eyeballing the KEF LS50 Meta and Q350 speakers as I have heard that a coaxial speaker setup would be optimal for close proximity listening.

Current setup:
* Parasound Z-12 in bridged mode
* Rebuilt NAD 1155 preamp
* Topping E50 DAC with P50 power supply
* Energy CB-5 speakers
* Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer

Will that amp pair well with either speaker? Any other recommendations besides the two KEF options I mentioned for great near field listening? Thank you in advance for any information!

Edit: I've had some folks recommend to look at studio monitors. I have never considered those before so I have no idea what to even look for.

Cheers,
Jared

Ended up going with the Tannoy Gold 7 monitors. I will be able to cut out the Parasound Amp and NAD preamp and run balanced connections directly from the E50 DAC to each speaker and rca output from the DAC to the subwoofer.
