I'm using a pair of Bose comparion 2 Series 2, and they are
serviceable. Anything better out there, sans external amp?

Maybe something like this:

How do they sound as opposed to the Bose?

For something *much* better listen to/look
at Genelec:

or Tannoy:

The Tannoy looked interesting; I wonder if there is any way I can get
them in Sydney Australia on short notice? I couldn't figure out which
of the Genelec models required an amp or didn't? Does "active" mean no
amp?

Active can be a synonym for powered, or amp built-in. I should have
asked what budget you had in mind and noticed where you are.

I have heard pro Tannoy monitors, good but can be bright depending on
how they're positioned.

I'd say to take a look at Quad and Wharfedale but good luck with the
website.

Okay I picked up some Audioengine 5s. But how the heck do they hook up
to a MacBook, which I believe has only one audio out jack, that for a
set of headphones. I hope there are some adapters available or should
I be looking into returning these (very heavy) speakers?

stereo mini-plug (3.5mm) to RCA pair cable from Mac headphone jack to
Audioengine RCA inputs.
