Desktop monitoring

Goals
For my use case, desktop monitoring needs to serve the following purposes:


 * 1) Provide flat, accurate and detailed nearfield monitoring for music and other media
 * 2) Provide pleasing enough sound that I don't hate everything I make while I make it
 * 3) Provide full-spectrum sound so I do not need a subwoofer
 * 4) Provide satisfactory stereo imaging at nearfield distance
 * 5) Add no audible background noise to the listening environment
 * 6) Keep the speakers in position despite bumps and shocks to the desk
 * 7) Allow for multi-monitor display configuration while keeping equilateral layout
