Hi :) I'm brand new to this forum and love the opinions on active VS passive speakers. For what its worth, I am listening to a pair of active Edifier R1700BT PC/desktop speakers (Annie Lennox "Into The West" 44/320k) that absolutely burn to the ground Andrew Jones ELACs in my living room running off a 100 W/8ohms Yamaha amp.
Imaging is outstanding. Vocals are good enough to make one weep... damn these are clean. A sub makes these perfect. Purr-fect.
I think I paid $150 for the Edifiers off Amazon two years ago, and they have even better models available now.
So although investing $10k in a pair of active mains might be scary as hell, the examples set by some of the least expensive, quality actives point to excellence.
