Compact Active Speaker Advice

[FuriousFrankie]

I'm about to purchase a pair of active speakers for use with my PC and would like some advice on which ones to go for.

I'm looking for something fairly compact but not tiny for listening to music as well as to use for gaming. For info, I was given a pair of Ruark MR1s for Christmas but whilst I thought they sounded good, in my opinion they felt a little bit too small and lacked some bass. Apart from being fairly compact, the other requirement I have is that they have a digital input (either optical/toslink or USB). Looking to spend around £300-£500.

At the moment I am considering:

Klipsch R-41PM
Elipson Prestige Facet 6B BT
Kanto YU6 or YU4
Tangent Spectrum X5 BT
Yamaha NXN500

Any advice/help would be very much appreciated. Cheers in advance!

Cheers for the advice, really appreciated.

If I went for speakers and a separate sub the logical place for me to put the sub would be under the desk my PC is on. Would that make the sub/bass sound bad though being under a desk?

Thanks again for the advice. I actually managed to return the Ruarks so all good. Will have a look at whether speakers with a separate sub is the answer for me.
