Active speakers: Audioengine vs other brands. Opinions?


A friend of mine asked me about alternatives to the Audioengine A5 active speakers. He wants a pair of good sounding powered monitors with the classic/traditional looks (his wife must match the speakers with the room decoration...). Besides the Audioengine I'm only familiar with the new Dali Zensor 1 AX, but I know there are plenty of good boxes from a variety of brands (KEF, Focal, Klipsch, ...).
Any suggestions?

Another mention for Dynaudio , though there are a couple models. I particularly liked the the class A/B  BM6MKIII actives vs the D powered 5's.
Another vote for Dynaudio. The Xeo and Focus XD series 'can' also be wireless.
