Speakers for very near-field listening?


I'm interested in comments/suggestions on small monitor speakers to put on the corners of a desk (5' wide) where I will be working at a computer (using DIGI/Protools). Alternately I could use tall, slim speakers on the sides of the desk if the drivers are above 30", or on stands behind/on side the desk.
Sony DVP7000 as transport, Aloia amp.
Price range not decided. Somewhere between $300 and $900 new or used.
Thanks

The real Pros use Westlake, they start higher than your price range but not 2 much.
Go to a pro sound shop that sells studio equipment. There are many small speakers made for mix monitoring that are specifically designed to be heard in the very near field, such as being placed atop the same mixing console the engineer works at. (This advice would be seconded, no doubt, by J. Gordon Holt :-)
Check out the new PMC DB-1 monitors. Very popular with studios. I would also recommend ProAc's
No speaker should sound as good as the Paradigm Atoms at their price. Ridiculous value for the money.
