Powered studio speakers are very good. No real down side just a different way of doing it. Most are tuned to be flat and you might not like the sound. Some have a lot of adjustments which can be nice. I find focal’s monitors to be pretty good and comparable to hi-fi speakers of the same size.
Sometimes you get better bass out of powered speakers. All depends on how it is all implemented.
