Speakers for a desktop system

I want to set up a system on top of my desk. Speakers will be about 32 inches apart center to center. placed on each side of my apple monitor about a foot away from the back wall.. I will slide my chair back about 5 feet.

Would like to drive them with a intergrated tube amp. WIll be listening to vocal and jazz mostly.

I have a vincent audio hybrid tube cd player. What tube integrated and speakers would you choose. Does not need to play real loud. I am looking for a great soundstage and warm smooth sound.

I've been using a pair of JohnBlue JB3 single-driver monitors in a very similar setup and find them to be absolutely remarkable. The sense of openness and the convincing soundstage are great and the quality of the bass is something I wouldn't have thought possible from a small, single-driver box. They're also very cool looking.

I use them with a NuForce Icon amp and either an Ah! Tjoeb tubed CD player or the MacBook, via USB, as a source.
