Possible Desktop Speakers?

I have been looking around a lot after my mini maggies thread to see if any speakers would be a better choice. Honestly, though I have no clue what to really look for in a speaker. So here I am hoping to get some ideas from the forum members. The room is mid/large (17 feet by 24 feet and its a rectangle with one corner chopped off). I have seen KEF LS50's, Peachtree D5, and Focal electra 1008 BE on the internet. Are any of these better then the mini maggies in a decently large room?

Hello everyone I wanted to thank everyone for their input thus far.

Doggiehowser I appreciate the recommendations. I will take a peak at them.

GSM18439 Thanks for the recommendation.

Al - Good question. For the most part I will be listening to them while someone else is watching tv (wife or kid). I could see myself hearing a good song or whatnot and spinning the speakers to share.

Harbeth P3esr will work well for what you're trying to accomplish. You can add a sub later if you feel you need one. Pair them with a Luxman of LFD integrated amp and a good source.

Or headphones. Trying to compete with kids watching TV can be a losing battle.

I like the harbeth and ancient audio stuff looks cool. I have some sennheiser hd700s. Problem with headphones is they give me a headache really quick. ��
