Please recommend some active speakers

I'm looking to pick up a pair of active speakers. Space constraints dictate that not having to purchase an amp or receiver is highly beneficial at the moment.

I was looking at the Paradigm Active 20 and 40 models. Can anyone recommend any other good active speaker models in this price rage? I thin the Paradigm 40's might be just out of my price range so something closer to the 20's would be best. They should be bookshelf monitors. Looking to buy used.

Many thanks.

Checked out the Event SP8 at a local store. Sound was amazing but those speakers are HUGE!

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'd like to keep it under $1500, preferably closer to $1000. Ideally used. I think the Meridian and ATC stuff go way beyond, even used, no? Yes, I do realize the Paradigms are discontinued. If there were a pair of 20's available here, I'd probably jump on them.

But since they're so hard to find, I was looking for some alternatives. How do nearfield studio monitors compare in this regard?
