My better half and I are converting a small room to an office with two desks. While I have my headphones, I would like a pair of speakers for casual listening when I do not wish to wear my headphones. Unfortunately, my desk is really space challenged, and I believe that the usual suspects (e.g. A5 or AV-40) may be too big. While I may consider Creative's T-series speakers, two other that have caught my attention are the VL-M3 from TASCAM, and the foxL v2 from Soundmatters. The TASCAM's are a small version of the traditional monitor, and I believe they have just one driver with a front bass port. The foxL's are really small, but they are supposed to put out some decent sound. They are truly portable, and a bit expensive, but I am wondering what people are comparing them to when they say they sound incredible. Are they just better than most portable speakers, or can they take on some of the desktop monitors? Has anybody heard either of these?

My source/transport will primarily be a PC feeding a uDAC-2, and I am just looking for speakers that are not offensive or overly colored. I do not expect much bass, which is fine if everything else sounds reasonable, and I do not expect this set-up to fill the room with sound. My music will mostly be played at low- to mid-volumes while I am at my desk or working in the room. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
