If you are looking for a cheap space saving nearfeild monitor then you have to checkout these little red babies from Soundcraft.
"The Zero's woofer uses a deep 30mm voice-coil and features a carefully optimized suspension which enables it to produce high levels of low frequency from its small enclosure. This, in conjunction with a large-diameter port located on the rear, allows the bass response to remain unrestricted, even at high listening levels. The monitor's soft-dome tweeter is driven by a 25mm ferrofluid-cooled voice coil mounted on a specially shaped waveguide. The result is increased power handling and controlled dispersion of high frequency sounds. The crossover network is optimized using the latest CAD techniques to take advantage of the acoustically aligned drivers and high-quality components. The low distortion of the drivers is never compromised."

Never used them but have heard them often and they are crisp and clear and balanced as much as you'll get from a speaker this size, they aren't much of a compromise over bigger boxes... besides, there is little choice in this area and they are good value so you gotta check them out...
