Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)

What small, nearfield (3 feet) desktop speakers do you use or like?
I'm looking to fit out my desk with something good but not expensive.
Music tastes are varied and I don't care about deep bass. I'd rather have good mids, highs.
Spending is capped at $500 max. Open to used, new. Would power these with Adcom separates, 60wpc.
Elac? Ascend? KEF? What would you advise?

For office desktop I would go powered speakers to clean up the area, less wires as well. What are you using for a source? Some like these Fluance can connect to your computer with USB.

Perhaps a powered monitor like the Tannoy Studio Gold  8.

Is this the speaker you were trying to post a link for?

Never heard them but the measurements on them are really good for a small speaker.
