I have only seen a few of this guys videos, and have never liked him. Doesn't really sound like he even gave many options a listen.
I can't really comment on full range actives as I have never heard a high end pair (I do have a JBL L16 that sounds great for what it is).
About a year and a half ago I upgrade to the Legacy Whisper XSD, so active woofers and just wanted to make one comment in regards to his concerns of fitting the amplification into the speaker.
I would imagine most (if not all) active speakers, are utilizing digital amplification for the woofers like the Whispers. The whole need for that hefty transformer and size of some other components in the component amplifier is to drive the low end. Take that need away with digital for the bottom end, and the rest of the amplification could likely be fitted with analog if so desired.
