Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)

@hilde,  I’ll sell you my Rosenut Kef R100’s for $500... I’ll even let you take them home and demo them.  If you love them, shoot me the $ via friends and family pay pal.  If you don’t love them, which you probably will, just ship them back to me. I had decided that I was going to hang on to them for awhile because they sound fantastic but the stars aligned and I’m buying some Carreras.  I have the original boxes and screens.

What do you guys think?  Kef R100’s with Adcom 535, Adcom Pre, Choice of Audio Engine Dac or Peachtree Dac...  

I’ll even throw in some $300 Signal Cable Silver Resolution cables (one side has bananas, Other end is bare) to sweeten the deal...

Fyi, they are 10x7x11. Same as the Paradigm Atoms but 2” deeper

AudioEngine A5 has 5” mid with soft dome tweeter...

"Sony bluetooth? Sound good?"

They include DAC (USB input) and really more than good headphone amplifier. They do sound quite good for size and that is why I recommended them. I assume you want to have more than speakers on the desk. Some of the recommended ones must be better, but seem bulky. Of course, it depends on the size of your desk.

Very tempting! Have to think on it, b limo!
