I agree...
Listening to them right now and they are fantastic. I am using them in my office and moved the m-audio AV30s to the family room where they don't get used that often. I just listened to the AV30s and the Audioengine provide much more clarity and a richer, much fuller sound than the M-audio.
Go with the audioengine A2s - you cannot find a better desktop speaker system IMO

Regardless of the price, the AV30s and the A2s can't be compared. One must distinguish between consumer speakers - however nice or pricy they can be - and prosumer and pro studio audio monitors. Audio monitors are meant to have a flat output, necessary for audio work to avoid distorting sound color, and hence, being able to equalize properly.
Consumer speakers on the other hand are somewhat "colored" by the manufacturer to output what most people think of a "nicer, richer, fuller" sound. Note that this has nothing to do with the quality of the components in high end consumer speakers, rather than the speakers configuration and design.
So if you don’t work with audio, get consumer speakers - the A2s seem nice enough.
cheers!
