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.....

The Elac debut 3.0 DB63 have arrived.   Unfortunately the Fosi amps have not.  Thanks for all the input.   It is VERY hard to make a choice without a chance to listen.    That is why I reached out.   THANKS to everyone that made suggestions.

These are exceptional if the form factor works for you.

My wife is a musician and sings in a Master Chorus. She needed (OK, wanted) a pair of desktop speakers for her work desk, which she also uses to listen and occasionally record sample tracks. I ended up getting her a pair of JBL 305P MkIIs monitors. Powered, CD horns (not al all honky) and designed for nearfield listening. Now that they are a little broken in at about 200 hours I can say that they sound great. Cost was under $300
