Recommend a desktop nearfield speaker for me

And... here's another review of the Harbeth P3ESR XD that you'll find interesting - especially regarding the matching of amplifiers... (if you haven't seen it).   

In near-field listening - it's not about the volume produced by the amp, so much as how it drives and controls the speakers and the impedance matching, etc.

This guy's comments are very enlightening in that regard - which are from a studio sound engineer's perspective.

Yes... the Cabasse Rialto speakers are truly amazing in all respects.

I’ve resisted getting a pair because they are such a sophisticated, all-in one system, which I feared would be difficult to repair, if one of the several components within the system developed issues.

But - a one box solution with amazing sound quality for a very reasonable price. Very tempting!

...and then again, you could try something entirely different....just add sub. *G*

...learned of these earlier today, so the next question is....

"How ’near’ is nearfield for you?’

...you can even give ’em an ear or both for a moment or so....

As an omni-sort, 20x2+sub is Plenty for desktops....bedrooms, dining, bomb shelters....😏

Pity about the que, tho’....

@bassdude - indeed, and a nice thing is that in a different arrangement, I could mount them on stands and I've got a nice pair of active bookshelf speakers. In fact, I think more people use them for that than for near-field computer speakers, but the size and sound quality were right. The amps in those speakers are very heavy! 

I have a pair of LS-50s I power with a little Jolida tube amp. I didn't like them that much so they are on my workbench in the garage. When I'm up close, they are really decent. Stereophile had them as class A. I think they would be great for a desk top system with a low power amp.
