Focal XS

 

The Focal XS delivers superb desktop audio performance—for a mere $600.

Top-notch audio performance. Powerful, yet restrained subwoofer. Superb design. Includes an integrated iPod dock that lets you sync your iPod with iTunes right from the speaker.

Wildly expensive. Limited remote control. Buttons on speakers feel a bit flimsy. Uses USB output.
