Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers


May need to downsize soon and this seems to be the way to go. Just want to know if anyone thinks this is also the way to go. Also would like some thoughts on which models are worth looking into. Thanks Everyone!!!!!

Why would any audiophile want to have power amps 'glued' to speakers ? First, you are stuck with those amps, and second they will vibrate like hell. Who makes amps for ATC, by the way ?
I can see only one real advantage - you eliminate speaker cables from the chain. As for the best match for particular speakers - there is always a better match, including custom or customized amps. And it is hard if not completely impossible to deal with amps vibrating with speakers. This is a very flawed concept overall. The only kind of thing from pro audio world that is desirable is the source, when it is good, I mean. Audiophiles want sophisticated sound and generally are much more concerned with sound quality than pros. With some notable exceptions.
However, if the OP insists - just get top of the line ATC and call it a day.
