Bookshelf or Mini Monitor

Looking for suggestions on speakers for large desk top. Room size is 15'x16'x8'. I will be using with imac for music playback of itunes and garageband mixs. An Arcam FMJ 22(100w) will be used as amp with Blue Circle usb thingee. So, looking for good nearfield listening and something that is not overkill considering the music source. New or used is fine.

Mini monitor, one of the pro audio line. JBL and Yamaha should be listened to at some of the 'guitar' shops. The latter are used for most pro mixing so they should work. Hey, some of these speakers have been around for over forty years, something must be right.

Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1s is another good choice for this.

I would love to get into the Harbeths, but I already have a lot tied up in the main rig with Spendor's and Blue Circle. I would feel guilty indulging so much in a desktop thing.

I started and stopped with Era D4's. Seem to be the right size, right cost and right propaganda. They should be here Thursday. Hope they sound good, or you going to owe me a McFavour, mcfavre! Just joken, thanks for suggestions.
