Help me pick a new desktop speaker

Hello!   For the new year I want to replace the Edifier speakers on my desktop.    The problem is there are many many to pick from.    I am leaning towards the Fosi amp but very unsure of speakers in this price range.    I am a picky audiofool and dont want to thru a merry go round.   I am looking for something under 20lbs each.  and under $500.    Im leaning toward Dali or Elac.    What is your experience and which would you pick?     Many thanks for your opinion.....

I appreciate the thoughts everyone has voiced.    I have thought about the Vanatoo many times but not pulled the trigger.  Talked to them at Axpona.  Have also looked at the Adam audio.

OOO  the Yamaha HS8 - very interesting suggestion.    Looking at this as I type.

 

Keep the suggestions coming.   My desktop is looking forward to the upgrade!

I have the Edifier R1700b fed by IFI Zen dac and USB Regen and Wireworld cables.    Its ok,   a bit thin.    Im spoiled by main system and that is another subject.

Almost forgot -   Have the Elac S10 subwoofer under the desk.    Not going to move that.   But it helps some.
