Help me build a nearfiield "desktop" audio system


I say desktop audio system, but I may end up mounting the speakers on stands. I'll only be sitting around 3ft away from the speakers, with the speakers maybe about a foot from the rear wall.

In my main system I use B&W 805S speakers which I absolutely love. I really like the B&W sound. I was considering getting the B&W pc speakers, but are those really the best I can find? Cost isn't really too big of an object as long as I'm not spending over say 3k total.

Is it best to go with powered speakers, or a separates system for this purpose? Any reccomendations for either?

I use powered NHT M00s w their S00 sub and I am very happy w it. They are monitors designed for nearfield listening and even have an adjustment for mid field. WAY under $3K.
