I've recently acquired some Fostex active speakers which will connect to the Transporter's balanced XLR outputs off eBay seriously cheaply to provide my 2 daughters(& their husbands) with their 1st music systems. They really tick all the boxes, minimal cabling, significant adjustability (they'll me several times, no way to predict room size/acoustic properties) & cheap to use (Class D amplifiers in-built). That's 2 of my 4 Transporters spoken for (the 2 unused SE's I imported from CA): I'm left with an all-black Logitech original I got off eBay for £450, & the trusty s/hand Slim Devices branded one I bought s/hand 8 years ago which is still going like a train - it's silver, but there wasn't much going s/hand in 2009. The Fostex speakers (now discontinued after 2 years are a bit light at the bottom end (but they're tiny!), so I've also bought some of the current Fostex 5" sub-woofers (which run simultaneously off the Transporter's unbalanced RCA phono outputs) which are also tiny, but do a passably job of filling in the bottom end. Total system cost (including stands for monitors & sub-woofers - around £1500 each. I don't think you could get a better sound for the money - & all of this kit is unused...
