Looking for End-game Active Speaker for Computer,
What I care the most is Female Vocal and then Treble,
Right now I looking in to KEF X300a and Swan m200mkiii (not know much about Passive Speaker).
 
Any Recommendation and Suggestion for me?

The KEF X300A are $800 for a pair.
The Swan M200mkiii are $300 for a pair.
Did you have a budget for the studio monitors (self-powered speakers)?
 
Have you considered adding a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)?
Something better then whatever is built into the motherboard.

My Budget is up to $1000 for speaker and I can spend an extra $300 for DAC,
 
I don't know much about Monitor Speaker, As now I only has a Portable Gear and Swan m10.

Not really knowledgeable for studio monitors in the $1000 a pair price range, but if i had to pick something.
Adam Audio A3X 2-way studio monitor, $350 each ($700 a pair)

If I could play your game, for $1300 total:

Presonus E66 studio monitors - $700
Matrix Mini I Pro Dac/headphone amp combo - $520
Belden 1800F XLR balanced cables - $60

Final step, when the funds allow, would be to add Dirac Live software to correct the room interactions.

I would put that system up against any passive speaker system under $2000. In my opinion, studio monitors with a good dac set the best-bang-for-buck benchmark.

Good luck auditioning.

I shall take it in consideration, It seem that the Matrix Mini-I have XLR output too, nice.
