There are very limited choices of full range active loudspeakers. Lots of choices for bookshelf and monitors.
Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen
The best sounding speaker I have had the pleasure to hear is made by Borresen.
I recently spent time with Michael Borresen in Seattle at a show. It was slow so
I was able to speak with him for a time. I asked him if he plans an active speaker.
His answer was a definitive and immediate "No". He said separates sound better.
His statement flies in the face of what passes in most audio corners as commonly recognized facts.
Sadly I am too technically challenged to convey any of his further explanation.
I invite all intelligent commentary on this question. Theoretical or not.

@lonemountain +10, that is a lot of great info, are you an engineer or designer? Interesting point about speaker and amp designers as my vendor, Paradigm, does happen to make both (Anthem amps and Paradigm are owned by the same group). |
@russ69 , IDK about choices being limited, maybe not as common though, yes. You have the pro gear and you have the new "simpli-fi gear" being offered now by more vendors all the time which bundles everything into the speakers like these:
or these:
