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?

Just wondering, have you heard the Max paired in stereo mode? You'll be surprised.

My reference to the LS50W with regards to its pricing/value. If the Max didn't exist at its price point then there is no argument.

Get a pair of Google Home Max speakers. They can be paired wirelessly and they sound awesome. You can disable the mic for the Google assistant and can cast music directly or use it as a Roon endpoint. Aux in is available as well.

One thing these have is the ability to tune themselves depending on the environment they are placed. All for about about $400 a pair!

I use a pair of these on my desk everyday and I am constantly reminded of foolish my decision was on getting the LS50W.
