Active VS Passive speakers and, specifically, Elac Navis ARB51 as the active speaker?


We are moving into a new home this Fall and I want good sound for music, TV and voice (podcasts) at the $2.000 to $3,000 price level.  I am new to the quality-audio arena and would appreciate some advice.  Should I go with Sonos Fives instead of the ARB51?  Is the KEF LS50 a better choice.  A solid recommendation for a newbie would be much appreciated.

As I hear them the Elac sounds best (dual concentric design)
and  it can be had as a passive in the newer reference uni model
for $1.1k as I recall.
