If you need to consider anything listen/watch Digital Stereophony on YouTube. A lot of the example that are mention online here (LogiTech, Edifier, Klipsch, Audioengine, ILoud, etc.) he has comparisons of a lot of the desktop speakers along with studio monitors. I had a older Klipsch iFi that finally died and the search for a good replacement has been not so easy but that might help you. You want to hear how Harmon Kardon Soundsticks compared to something else its there to listen to.
