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?

Jkman...what's your budget?
And do u plan on bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer? (also with a room that size you could go with floorstanders).

** Are they literally being placed on a desk or just bookshelf size, because in the other thread you were talking about using some powerful amps?

It seems to me that an integrated amp with high power/current would serve your purpose. ARC separates are overkill for a small desktop listening area. Unless you're planning for the future and expanding your listening area.
So many good integrateds out there.

"Its an l shaped desk with a wall behind me and to my
right."

Got it. So u really don't need a massive amount of power, just a good match between amp and speakers. Some good advice from Al as usual.
