I'm looking to streamline my home office setup; specifically, the one on my desk. This is where I edit and track my live recordings. Looking for something compact that I could have on my desk. Currently, I use a pair of PreSonus Eris E3.5 monitors plugged into my Mac Mini.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Those Presonus speakers are not terrible I've heard way worse that cost lots more.

A friend has a pair of these in his home studio for playback and mixing and they sound spectacular. They have quite a bit of well focused bass for a 5 inch woofer and the ribbon tweeters are really accurate. They are $200 each but sometimes come up cheaper on the used market when people upgrade quickly - Adorama, Sweetwater, Reverb, etc...
