Off-topic: Those audioengine's are really something, aren't they? Last fall I convinced a dancer friend who DIY edits her own videos and stuff to splash on the audioengine 2s for desktop application. She was suspicious of the expense, but now continually thanks me for pressing her to bump up to decent sound.
They're quite nice. I tried a plethora of computer speaker systems and ended up returning all of them. I have the audioengine 5's matched with a 10" Outlaw Sub. Makes for a nice computer sound system. I have some KRK's for studio stuff as well.
