I don’t know if they are available in the USA yet, but Acoustic Energy just released an active version of their AE1.

KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6
OK I should probably explain before I weird everyone out...
I have a nice pair of Thiels but always wanted to try a nice monitor. Particularly since my room is smallish and weird shaped and I love great sound stagging and accuracy. (I figure they would be easier since I'm constantly rearranging). There's a pair of nice Countours nearby but Sterephiiiilie reviews suggest the tiny KEH set are terrific monitors. Price is about the same.
Any advice?
Thx, DD
