Audiophile Active Speakers?

Bracing for a flame war on this one - but are there any really seriously good sounding active floor standers? The new Dynaudio XEO 6's intrigued me.

Here's why I'm interested. I recently acquired some great Verity Audio speakers that I realized my entire cabling, amps, preamps etc were too warm for. Problem is I'm getting past the point where I see this as a hobby and am just looking for good music reproduction without tons of system matching experimentation etc.

One interesting option would be selling all my electronics, cables, etc on A-gon and just purchasing a good DAC and good sounding Active floor standers. I could therefore afford decent speakers (up to $7K or so), pocket some cash, simply the system (and save lots of time and grief shopping for matching components).

Am I expecting something that would sound as good as the Verity's with appropriately good electronics? No - not even close.

But a quality audiophile sound I could live with and possible tweak with the right sounding DAC that could make me more or less satisfied is the goal. The don't have to be magical like the Verity's. Any thoughts?

 The most of the power used for amplification is for   bass and midbass.
Audiophile class A  which is very powerful cost a lot of money.   Very
important  and  critical  to use this amplifier to mid and high freg.
and not so important for bass and midbass, This is reason why some
high end LS company  supply active class D   bass module.
We made semi active with build in 2 amplifier for  class D  bass and  class AB  for midbass .
so you need just good external amps class A with just 10-20 watt
and save a lot of money
