I can't speak for the Rokit speakers, but the Audioengine's are 'nearfield' monitors... and they sound best when you're up close to them.  I don't think they're appropriate for what you're planning.

same with Rokits

how big?

15" x 10 7/16" x 12"....take my word for it, it's big!

Agreed. They are both nearfield speakers. Not sure they are meant for what the TS intends without some compromise in sound quality. They will definitely be loud enough thought!

Once I've positioned mine 2 meters away from my ears. The sound was horrible compared to what I was used to.

For me they sound a lot better at 2 meters buts its all depend of your room acoustics and placement/orientation  don't forget you hear the room along with the speaker.

Save the tiny extra and get the RP6. I have them myself and they sound amazing and have much improved bass over the RP5.

could be although my room is "squarey" and small which is nearly perfect for such small monitors

Guys My Room is 195 sq. feet. and I will sit about 10 feet away from speakers. My room is 15x13.

Guys I have 12 year old 2.1 crappy speakers which is 980W PMPO and they sound pretty loud in my room so I think Rokit 5 or Rokit 6 will be enough for my room. What say guys?

reply fast guys coz I need to order soon and urgently

I don't think nearfield monitors are ideal for listening from 10 feet away, but I could be wrong about that.  But just logically, the term "nearfield" implies they are optimized for listening from close in.

nearfield is nearfield no matter the bass size. Most studio monitors are, you might as well look elsewhere, for a pair of bookshelves

Regardless of Rokit 5, 6 or 8...they are still designed as nearfield studio monitors. It is not about how loud it is granted they are loud.
