JBL LSR305 Studio Monitor: Opinions?

Any fellow 'goners who are familiar with them? I'm curious how they compare to Audioengine A2+ for nearfield listening/computer speakers.

Thanks.

When I saw a great deal on a pair of refurbished Audioengine A5+'s I grabbed 'em. The A5+ are placed on my computer desk and after just a few minutes of listening, I'm enjoying the "larger" sound as compared to the A2+, which are also fine speakers IMO. They provide the "fullness" that I was missing with the A2+. If I roll my chair back from the desk, my computer "rig" now becomes a quite decent second audio system when my wife is watching movies downstairs. :) Next I'll need to find a decent DAC but even connected to the headphone jack on my MacPro, so far so good. I think the A5s are keepers.
