I also use the JohnBlue JB3's. They are great sounding desktop speakers for near-field listening. When I was searching for a pair last fall I could not find a US dealer or North American distributor. I contacted JohnBlue Audio in Taiwan using the contact button on their website and I was able to buy a pair direct from the manufacturer in Taiwan. They shipped them in about a week and they gave me a fantastic price which was at or below the MSRP, even including shipping from Taiwan.
Desk Top Passive Monitor $500 used or less
Picked up a Cambridge Sonata AR30 compact receiver (40W @ 8 ohms) and now looking for a pair of speakers at $500 used or less. Heard good things about the Cambridge S30 and really like the small size -- 9" high, 6" wide.
Will set-up on my desk at work, near field primarily, listening to female jazz vocals as well as Miles Davis, Stan Getz, John Coltrane.
Looking for suggestions as I may be able to do better than the S30 (maybe not).
