Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)

What small, nearfield (3 feet) desktop speakers do you use or like?
I'm looking to fit out my desk with something good but not expensive.
Music tastes are varied and I don't care about deep bass. I'd rather have good mids, highs.
Spending is capped at $500 max. Open to used, new. Would power these with Adcom separates, 60wpc.
Elac? Ascend? KEF? What would you advise?

Great suggestions. Thank you both!
"Radio Shack = Realistic" I think. If not, please correct.

Is size of concern?  Where will you place them?  Whats your source going to be?

Perhaps a powered monitor like the Tannoy Studio Gold  8.

Is size of concern?
* Yes. It will be 3 feet away in a small room. Otherwise, the desk is reasonably big.
* Where will you place them? 
* On either side of double 24 inch monitors
Whats your source going to be?
* Computer audio
