@theJman: I like Dynaudio products; they are expensive but they make some cool nearfield monitors as well as speakers. I appreciate the info about the MiniMe but I'm rethinking through this project. I plan on moving in a year and I figure my new office/music room will look different from my current one. I'm better off getting the system once I know what the space looks like. If I have enough room, I may switch from a nearfield system to a 2 channel rig.
@timoteo: thanks for the offer but I've decided not to reconfigure my desktop system at this point. It just makes sense to wait until after I move.
