Accessories4less has KEF LSX Wireless Music System (Pair, Black) for $649. Shipping is free.
Thanks to Slickdeals Moderator Mbilo for finding this deal.
Features:
Following the success of KEF LS50 wireless, lox includes a 4" Unit-Q driver to deliver astoundingly clear sound over 160 degrees of coverage and an fee designed cabinet with hidden Heatsink.
Connect wirelessly via dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.2, digital (To slink) input, or a 3.5 mm aux optical Connection. Connect the speakers wirelessly or via RJ45 Ethernet.
LSX is compatible with TIDAL and other popular music streaming services.
If you're after additional bass, the LSX can output to a connected subwoofer. Output to the connected subwoofer is controlled by the included app.
FWIW, A4L tends to always have some kind of Kef sale going on. Doesn't make this a bad deal, but keep an eye on the site for other sales if you're looking.
They'll sound better than pretty much any basic 2.0 system you get off Amazon like Logitech and Razor. However, a lot of the non-2.0 systems also come with an included Subwoofer, which can make a huge difference. You'd have to source your own sub with this, which is money and configuration.
They would be great, using the analog input. Coaxial speakers, and KEFs in general have pinpoint imaging and are amazing for nearfield listening. Put them up ear level on desk stands if possible.
If you connect wireless or even spdif digital input, there would be a slight delay from your actions on the screen. Probably not drastic. But a few hundred milliseconds. Bluetooth would be worse.
Edit: I forgot these don't have an analog connection between the two speakers (speaker wire) until another comment pointed it out.
You must use Ethernet or wifi for the other speaker. This will add slightly more delay.
Really wish these had the traditional speaker inputs too.
You can get passive KEF speakers like the Q series or the LS50 (non wireless) but those will have a much larger footprint. These are active, with their own preamp, amp, and DSP inside.
If you have a nice, beefy amp, I suggest looking at the LS50s! But you'll still probably want a sub.

They seem to be powered speakers so pretty standard inputs, it's nice it has optical and aux in addition to networking

Hard pass for desktop / gaming.
I sold my pair of LSX (Gen 1) - horrible connectivity problems. Sounded great but the lack of traditional inputs is very limiting.
