Computer Speakers

Music Direct has the Quad 9AS(Plug the ports with foam) with built in 24/192 DAC,USB/Optical/Coax and analogue inputs for $400.00...IMO you will not be able to better these for the money...

Must say I LOVE my Adam F7 actives (front ported) for my desk set up. That AMT tweeter is sublime. Not just Powered, but active - one amp per driver.

I use a pair of Harbeth P3ESR on my desk, and they sound glorious. However, they are expensive for a desktop speaker, and I can only justify them, I think, because I actually use them at least as much as my main speakers in the living room. This set up uses a desktop computer as a source, with an ODAC usb DAC and an Emotiva Control Freak volume control into a Quad 405-2 amplifier. I like the Quad 405-2 for its clean and discreet modern looks and compact size. The speakers sit on IsoAcoustics stands. I don't buy their isolation story, but I needed something to bring the tweeter up to ear height (very important) and to reduce bass reinforcement by the desktop surface. The latter remained a bit of an issue until I did an REW measurement and imported the correction file into the Equalizer APO/Peace equalizer software that I had installed in the computer. So be prepared for the need to have desktop stands of one kind or another, and even then perhaps some equalization to tame a woolly bass. I never heard the little Quad actives, but they seem just the ticket.

+1 on the Adam audio . The beauty of those is you can go down to your nearest Guitar Center and get a listen .

I use a pair of Dynaudio Excite 14As and I feel no other at this price range could touch it’s sound quality.
