Need help/recommendations for desktop speakers

[Helloman]

Hi everyone,

I am a new member here and basically new to this high quality audio pursuiting field. I am looking for a pair of desktop speakers that have both good quality and good looks. My budget is around 300-600pounds/500-1000usd. Would be awesome if the speakers can support airplay/bluetooth tech too. So far I am looking at Audioengine a5+ and Kef x300a, altho the A5+ looks a little dull to me, and the Kef lacks wireless capabilities unless driving price to the tip of my budget (not to mention being 4stars...? not sure if difference between 4&5 stars mean that much...). I was going for B&W 685/686 but apparently thats another catergory... Are there any other good options in between? Any recommendations would be great thanks!

Pro music stores will sell active monitors.

In your price range you have;

Adam f5 & 7's.

Focal Alpha 50 or 80's.

Mackie HR624's

Dynaudio compact monitors.

Best to have a listen side by side as you'll know when the sound suits you....Ooohh, suits you sir

How about taking a look at these?

http://www.audiopro.com/products/addon-t12 - seem to tick all your boxes.

(I have the smaller version, the T8, they sound really nice.)
