If I were putting them on a desk I'd go for the near field monitor option with a half decent cable from your Mac.
If you put a cheap Bluetooth receiver in the mix it'll sound cheap. Bluetooth isn't great anyway in terms of quality, airplay is better for sure, and then a streamer will be better again.

well thanks all. I don't really speak your language, but have looked up what has been mentioned. I suppose just buying active speakers would be a slight cop out, and it would be more interesting/"better" to buy separate boxes. I still do not quite understand the different ways the signal can get wirelessly from my apple device to the speakers, and I don't know whether I would notice a shortcoming in basic bluetooth streaming cf other wireless or wired. But as I am learning, it would probably be sensible to go modular, with the option to upgrade later when I know more. The people who reviewed that Fosi amp were amazed at its VFM. Seems possible to get a really good set up for starters for well within my budget. Thanks a lot so far.
