A lot of these speaker manufacturers don't already have or wouldn't want the extra burden of developing an amplification system for their speakers.
Also, the issue of which amplifier manufacturer's technology to use comes under consideration. Some amp makers might not want to reconfigure or in their minds compromise their designs in order to work with a speaker, and vice versa. Using another maker's amp technology or tuner section in a receiver is a lot easier than incorporating speakers and amps. Then, there's the decision as to which active crossover design to incorporate. The speaker builder and the amp maker may have different ideas on this as well. My guess is these might be some of the main reasons we don't see more active arrangements of this type.
I'd love to see what might be if certain players could get together, but I'm sure there are some big obstacles preventing it.
