I was originally referred to it by LLoyd 297.
oh wow. that guy pretty much said the exact same thing i did in a recent thread about studio monitors! i'm not alone. he hit the nail on the head. try before you buy, pro and audiophile are worlds apart. imo, the Role Audio Skiff is a great speaker to be used for music at the computer. it's very very small, and about $200. obviously needs a subwoofer. if you can stretch your budget a bit you can get a really top-notch subwoofer from av123, forget the model name.

i really think you should avoid the x-ls. not because it's bad, because it won't sound all that good so close to you, and have tons of resonance off of the stuff on your desk. i think this might help you a bit. he recommends a few great components that are in the $200 ballpark, and those articles are pretty informative about nearfield listening. definitely a nice guideline for me, i won't have a decent listening area for many years, i'm confined to the computer. curses!
