active professional monitors for HT


I am considering active pro monitor speakers for a 7.1 HT. Possibilities include the JBL LSR4326P or Focal Solo6 Be...based on reviews and comments I've seen, since I haven't auditioned anything yet (the room isn't even designed yet, much less built).

Would welcome any comments on (1) the idea of using pro active monitors in a HT, (2) specific speaker suggestions that I should try to audition ($1000-2000 per pair street price range), (3) feedback on the JBL and Focal speakers mentioned above.

The room is going to be in the area of 2500-3000 cu ft, and I will probably use an existing Pardigm Reference Servo-15 sub.

Dont know if you've found a solution yet, but a friend of mine uses Mackie powered monitors and I have to say that they sound fantastic. For the price it is a no brainer unless your theater is like mine which won't allow for a rear port.
Good luck
