on the desktop?

Hi all-

I'm helping a friend think about a system for her office. The room is small (about 12' by 8'), and the speakers will sit on the desktop. She will mostly listen to cds (and also needs a cdp and amp for this system.) Other considerations: she has small children, so speakers that sound nice at low volumes would be ideal. Her music taste is varied, but she listens to lots of jazz and classical. I was thinking about Harbeth P3esr (maybe run with a Wyred4Sound mint or a Rega Brio), or the Kef Ls50 with the Arcam A19. I wonder if anyone has experience with those speakers on the desktop in a small room? Or other ideas for speakers for this situation? (Component advice is welcome too). The budget is 2-5k. with many thanks! Margot

Eclipse has some very interesting desktop monitors now. I heard them in my wife's home office when we were hosting Philip O'Hanlon of "On a Higher Note".

Really nice. Active monitors with a built in 192/24 dac, wireless, and usb input. They produced an astonishingly large soundstage from very close range playing off an iPad of all things. Add a sub and you've got a seriously nice office system that looks pretty good too.

They are $1300. I have them on the gift list for my wife for xmas. She really liked them (even after hearing some Vivid B-1s playing Abby Road on vinyl via some sweet Luxman gear.
