Active Speaker Choice

Active speakers utilizing DSP seem to take the room out of the equation, so now I'm now considering going this route, at least at my present residence.

Lots of buzz arounds names like: Dutch & Dutch, ATC SMC 40A, Kii Three, Buchardt A700. 

Most are pretty big bucks, so pricewise, I would prefer to lean more towards the Bucharts' but I'm open a bit (used?)

Most are difficult to demo, so please, if you have comments or recommendation these or any other active speaker you have heard or can recommend, it would greatly be appreciated.

Another option to consider. I purchased the pair pictured on the website. Very much worthy of consideration. The Mini DSP studio adds about 1k to the price. I am still playing with target curve in Dirac and some minor PEQ adjustments. I definitely have a bit of a learning curve in respect to the possibilities that these have.

I was the one that mentioned them. I actually bought the pair that is shown in this review and picked them up from the reviewer's home. How Carlo describes them is pretty much spot on. I took it a step farther and bought the Mini DSP Studio as well. The parametric eq can be done through the Studio vice in the amp. Any of the eq I used is done after Dirac. They are well built, look good, and sound great. Phillip is making a newer version of this now called the 3.2 http://www.bambergaudio.com/products/series3/3pt2.php . If I remember correctly, they will be a single cabinet version and use the newer Hypex Fusion amp (FA 123) in them. With the mini DSP included, you can be all in for about 7k and need to supply a source or two.
