Please recommend some active speakers


I'm looking to pick up a pair of active speakers. Space constraints dictate that not having to purchase an amp or receiver is highly beneficial at the moment.

I was looking at the Paradigm Active 20 and 40 models. Can anyone recommend any other good active speaker models in this price rage? I thin the Paradigm 40's might be just out of my price range so something closer to the 20's would be best. They should be bookshelf monitors. Looking to buy used.

Many thanks.

You do know that Paradigm Actives are discontinued, right? So, you'll be looking on the used market. They pop up every now and then on the Gon, but unfortunately are still quite expensive due to their popularity. They are absolutely wonderful and worth it, however. I have a pair of Active 40's, which are fantasticly smooth, and bass reproduction is strong so you can live without a sub. I hope to eventually move to ATC's as they are very well regarded as Lazarus wrote, but they are very spendy, and I think Meridians ain't cheap either.
