Buyer rule
Start with desk space, input path, room size, and bass control
Start with speaker footprint, monitor stand space, power type, input path, cable length, volume control, and whether a soundbar would fit better.
Compact speaker prices
Keep compact speakers simple when desk space is the constraint
Compact speakers solve space, not every audio problem. They need to fit around monitor stands, keyboards, mouse range, docks, lamps, and cable trays without becoming clutter.

Risk
Avoid buying audio before mapping placement and cables
The common mistake is buying small speakers without checking volume control placement, power cable route, or whether the speakers block mouse movement.
