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 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.
