I use IN5 and KH120 in desktop setups. To me they are the wrong tye of speaker if listening more than 3m away.
The LSR305s I mentioned only incidentally "double duty" as far-field rear surrounds in my front desk's changeable 1.0/2.0/2.1/5.1/7.1 "Frankenstein" setup -- and mainly used to upmix stereo content to MCH. In actuality, they mainly are used as the surrounds (at ~1.4 m distance) for my couch MLP located near the rear end wall of the same room. They do not have the headroom required for loud listening volumes nor have the cleanness for the application of some necessary boosting EQ without incurring more distortion than wanted -- so only subtractive PEQs are used -- and which is why I am leaning more on the larger IN-8 v2, if ever, instead. However, at my usual not so loud "home cinema" listening SPL levels, they work perfectly all right. But the main issue being so far a distance away in such tight corners right against the rear wall means the desk MLP (rear side surround) response is never going to be optimal no matter what type of monitor I feasibly am able to install in there.

EDIT: made some EQ adj. shown in the two graphs below, mainly reducing the rear surrounds'
direct sound response level with EQ to prevent them from sticking out too much from the rest of the other channels.
This broad level adjustment based on the
full frequency response ~vs~
direct (windowed) response is something that's best confirmed perceptually with actual A/B listening.

I've tried swapping the LSRs for the S8s in the rears and predictably got a better response above 400 Hz -- less of that giant up-down swing -- due to their narrower directivity -- maybe helped by their larger size as well, I suppose. However, the valleys below 400 Hz were essentially more or less similar in the end.
The differences is also very much visible in "time" by zooming in the wavelet spectrograms:
Not something one can just EQ away with DSP, unfortunately.
