Speakers for very near-field listening?

I'm interested in comments/suggestions on small monitor speakers to put on the corners of a desk (5' wide) where I will be working at a computer (using DIGI/Protools). Alternately I could use tall, slim speakers on the sides of the desk if the drivers are above 30", or on stands behind/on side the desk.
Sony DVP7000 as transport, Aloia amp.
Price range not decided. Somewhere between $300 and $900 new or used.
Thanks

I owned the Joseph RM7si and although they are nice speakers and I did enjoy them....I didn't find them to work that well in the nearfield.

Check out the new PMC DB-1 monitors. Very popular with studios. I would also recommend ProAc's

Actually, I should take back some of what I said about the Joseph's. I didn't care for the RM7's in the nearfield in my room....however, I forgot that I let a friend of mine borrow the RM7's who also has a smal listening room and listens in the nearfield. The Jospehs in his room worked very well in the nearfield. I can't believe I forgot about this....I guess I have had way too many speakers. This is why, if possible, it is always a good idea to audition speakers in your room.
