What is the best regarded desktop speaker?

Something that can be used on a desk in a home office. Thiel PCS? any others? Some bass response would be nice.

It was designed as a set of rear speakers for home theater, but it uses the same drivers as the bigger and more expensive 5.0. The Sat 5 is a small sealed box, so close to rear wall is no problem. I drive mine with a pretty low powered NAD L40 (cd/amp in one box) and they sound fabulous. Good bass too.

You would have to agree with their sales pitch that beaming in this application is desirable. (Or should I say narrow dispersion?)
