As a guide to the OP, there are threads on this topic here at Agon. Plenty of ideas and companies to select from. I would caution that it is most helpful to understand the inherent performance characteristics of panels vs. dynamic open baffle, as, imo, they differ significantly.
The two most fundamental differences I hear are that images with panels are more diffuse, and with less macrodynamic impact (less concentrated force) than open baffle dynamic and dynamic hybrids; not bad, just different. I can get either to sound wonderful. But, imo, there is no being able to duplicate the essential character of the other. Try to experience and hone down your expectations before you buy. If you can't experience them, do a LOT of reading to know what the performance differences are.
Finally, my experience has been that speaker systems that are passive vs. active depend more on the setup/system configuration for ultimate performance, and that neither one has absolutely outperformed the other. i.e. I can get either one to sound better depending on system. Don't believe it when you are told that any given active speaker system will always outperform a passive one by another manufacturer. It's simply not true, as I have learned by building systems with them both.
