Recommendation for Good Quality Desktop Speakers

I am looking for speaker recommendations for near field listening when i'm sitting at my desk. I have a 8 Watt tube headphone amp for power. I currently have NHT (H:12" by W: 71/4 by D: 9") speakers on either side of my 26" screen. I'd like to stay within the current speaker dimensions or smaller. I sit 30" from the screen. This setup is ideal for late night listening. I've considered Harbeth P3 ES2 or something at or under $1,500.00.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Passive version of KEF LS50. Not sure if your amp can drive it tough. Used prices are coming down now likely due to the active version of the LS50 being available. I use it on my desktop with a $480 ebay Parasound A23 amp. My KEF's were $1100 used 3 years ago. You can get them much cheaper now. I do a lot of late night listening in my office while i work. They sound amazing nearfield.

I also want to get the active version of the LS50 for another room (desktop like setup there too).
