active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise?



Anyone ever hear or own active speakers that made you forget about all the rest?

Or are active speakers best left to the studio engineers?

And DJ’s?

I just heard a pair yesterday at my buddy's neighbor's. They were the big ATC's, he said they retail for $13k. Source was a blu-ray player, don't remember what brand, pre amp was a Rotel processor, room was smallish and oddly shaped, no noticeable treatments. Sound was astonishing!!! Unbelievably dynamic! Huge soundstage, tons of detail, but not bright or harsh. I was very, very impressed.
