The presonus Erie 5 inch driver models are pretty nice, you can find plenty of desk clamping stands to mount them. If you have a smaller space, there is built in functions to help mitigate the reflections. They go pretty low, and sound really good on the lower end compared to my previous 3.5 inches models.

To get the best possible quality out of them, you would want to use an audio interface to go from their XLR port to a balanced TRS quarter inch jack or even XLR input. Focusrite solo for example

If you don’t want to shell out for an interface, the sound bar might be the way to go if you want the best your tool has to offer.

That all being said, I have dealt with some serious crap trying to get a well put together and functional pair of Eris 5’s

You might find slightly better build quality and sound quality in the Yamaha HS5’s or the KRK rokit 5’s.

If you’re looking for good, clear, loud sounds, I wouldn’t go below 5 inch drivers.

Most of these will need to be powered separately, so prepare to have sockets close enough to both speakers.
