Look at Tapco as a lower cost alternative for pro-style near field monitors. You can get them real cheap at B&H photo video and they sell some good stands there too. The only reason I haven't ordered them is that I almost always use headphones anyway and I buy too much stuff I hardly use as it is.
As for the Audioengine 2 - I really don't like speakers that put the amplifiers for both the left and the right speakers in the same speaker.
There's no question that Blue Sky has the best designed speakers - the main speakers are acoustic suspension and use ring radiator tweeters - if you are willing to pay the $$$$.
