I have the BIC's RtR twin. Same manufacturer with minor differences: side instead of rear-ported, and has a red speaker. It's a few dollars cheaper for some reason.
I haven't listened to the Klipsch for comparison, but I can offer a subjective: I love my sub. The specs say the BIC/RtR has a slightly lower end (25 vs 29), FWIW. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
I have SVS PC2000, I love them. They are expensive, but I have listened to The PB1000 as well which is wonderful.
To be more in the starter sub range, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H3G5D8/ref=psdc_12097481011_t3_B0015A8Y5M for 220
or https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sub-1200-12-120-watt-powered-subwoofer--300-629 for 150
HSU and SVS are my favorite sub brands, and to get one around 250 or lower, you would have to find a used one of their entry models, but they are both super reliable brands.
Bic and Dayton both make solid starter subs that don't go super low, but they are nice bang for the buck. Definitely better than the Polk. Listen to them if you can, though. I know SVS let's you audition, and HSU lets you audition if you are near Orange county, CA.

Jamo is another Good Choice for Speakers But read their subs have amp issues?
I Like the Pioneer Andrew Jones Towers -Sp-fs52 - don’t own them but seen many Good Reviews on them and listened to them in Frys Store.

Better Polk Audio Monitor or Signature wouldn't be a Bad Choice:

You did ask for monitors then complain about monitors being flat? That is the point of them :)
You can of course go with other speakers as well but they aren't powered. Unless of course you use a nice set of 2.1 computer speakers. Monitors really aren't necessary for a DJ and without an (expensive) sub to pair with them they can be arguably worse for DJing than a decent 2.1 computer system. Flat response isn't necessary for DJing - remember you wont get any flat response in a club so why at home?
I DJ at home with a high end set of Altec Lansing PC speakers that have been converted to 2.1 (removed center/rear channels and used this adapter. Computer speakers can be the best 'bang for the buck' if you don't have an old home theater amplifier or something to power unpowered speakers.
If you do have an amplifier (even an old home stereo/theater amp) you can go with something like these BIC America RTR-1530 for $125 each, which are 3 way and with a 15" cone will provide quite significant bass even without a subwoofer. They do have a matching sub too for $210. These speakers will perform admirably at home or on the go - although passive powered speakers are a hassle for moving around and setup.
Thank you! Here are the tower's specs:
Intel i7 5960X
G.SKILL 32GB (8 x 4GB) DDR4 3000
(2x) EVGA GTX 980Ti SLI
ASRock x99 WS-E Motherboard
(2x) Samsung 850Pro SSD 512GB in RAID0
(2x) Toshiba 5TB HDD in RAID1
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W PSU
That's a copypasta from my Imgur album.
The speakers are 2 sets of Arion Legacy AR506-BK. I daisy-chained in those stouter speakers for more pronounced highs. On the bottom, although you can't really see it in any of the pictures, I have a BIC America RTR-EV1200 475W Subwoofer.
Edit: I almost forgot to leave out the case which is a Xigmatek Elysium.
That'd be a BIC RTR-EV1200 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H3G5D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_myTVBbR6FTT8R
I picked up this BIC RTR EV1200 last year. I'm suprised it doesn't get more recommendations. You do have to wait for restocks to get the $186 price.

(The RTR EV1200 is the same as the F12, with a side firing port. The reason I listed it is due to the fact that it's currently cheaper.)
That setup will ABSOLUTELY blow the Z-5500 out of the water.
I think the wife my kill me if we go over budget anymore than we already are. Would something like this work? http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Eviction-RTR-EV1200-Front-Firing-Subwoofer/dp/B003H3G5D8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1463878713&sr=8-5&keywords=bic+subwoofer
