I use ERA Design 5's on my desk. They fit nicely and I choose them over B&W 805's because the 805's are just too big. Check out the ERA's. Feed then with a good source and amp and you are all set.
Help needed: speakers for desktop
After having recently combined my high end two channel system with a home theatre set up, I am now left with trying to do something in my study via a desk top using a Mac-itunes. I currently use the benchmark USB DAC-headphone amp and a variety of headphones which is great but also want just be able to play via speakers.
The other thing is I have amplification leftover from the merger of two systems which I love to the max. The DartZeel pre and pwer amps. I aint gonna get rid of them, nor am I sure how to use them in the combined home theatre set up in the living room. The study room set up requires nearfield listening ( while I sit at the desk) with the speakers pretty much on the desk or right by them, close to the wall. The Darts, I know are obviously and absolutely overkill for this system, but I am saving them for the future when I can take advantage of the incredible capabilities some day. But in the meantime it would be nice to incorporate them in this system, even if the speakers cant take full advantage of them, as they are great and I avoid buying more amplification, both dollar-wise and not yet another box.
So its a matter finding speakers. Some of the speakers I had been thinking of include the Tannoy Autograph Minis, Anthony Gallo A Diva T, Proac Tabelletes, etc...perhaps in a satellite and small sub configuration, perhaps not...
Am I on the right path? Any thoughts or suggestions?
