I would like to get some suggestions for a pair of active desktop monitors. I will be using them to play from my NAS stored music collection via my computer (jriver) and/or a matrix element streamer. My chair will be about 3-4 ft away from the speakers and about 2 ft from the wall.. The room size is about 12x12. I have never owned an active speaker so i would like to start off by spending less than $600-800 for the pair in case its not my cup of tea. IF i end up liking and using them a lot, i have no problem upgrading later. I would like to keep the size to 6" woofer or less. Measurement data for lower priced active speakers is rare so am looking for any input as to where to start. As of now, i have the JBL306p and the yamaha hs5 on my short list. I would, of course love a pair of Genelec or Neumann but for now they are not in the cards.
Those with experience in this area what other options should i consider.
Thanks, in advance
