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.

Yeah, to keep it simple, especially since it's an HT system mainly, you could consider the active Mackies, and they're likely going to do the job with as much guts as most anything.
I suggest, at that price range, something that's tried and true, possibly in "B stock" or used on the net, and that's the Active M&K 150 THX monitors!
M&K is closing their doors? Are you sure? People have been rummoring this for years, but they're still around. What's up?
