Hello,
my current desktop setup consists of the Heco Aurora 300 powered by an active Subwoofer of an old Teufel Concept E Magnum.
My ears are only 70cm away from the speakers and I put them on foam sound absorbers to recduce the vibrations.
I'm wondering if it was better to buy a Wiim Amp to increase the sound quality or if it was better to switch to active speakers.
I could sell my Auroras and buy the Kali LP-UNF or Kali LP6-V2 (without a subwoofer).
Which of the speakers would you recommend for nearfield listening on a desktop?
 
A Wiim Amp certainly is not a bad choice. Whether or not it will "increase sound quality" [whatever your expectation is] you have to explore by yourself. However, both the Kalis you've mentioned will fit purpose [nearfield]. I'd go with the LP6-V2 [comparison].
