Computer Speakers

Thinking about an upgrade for a room where I spend a lot of time - the home office at the computer.

I am thinking of active speakers for near field listening conditions under $1,000.  

Ideas?

No room for the tiny Maggie desktop setup or even for a rear facing port... any good acoustic suspension speakers I can try?

DIY? :) Mine plus an NAD D 3020 should run about that.

I was in a similar situation recently and bought some Genelec 8010As which sit on my desk. They are tiny, and sound very good for their size. As long as you are not expecting deep bass or a massive soundstage, they are highly recommended.

I got a pair of Scansonic S5BT, active speakers with Bluetooth for my gf's new apartment, they sound quite good. Got them from Alfred Kranz at HighEnd-Electronics.

if computer audio is your thing, look no further than the Maggie system.
It is very impressive. An excellent second consideration would be the B&W MM1.
