"Pro" Active Monitors

What does anyone think about using a pair of active "pro" studio monitors? As a point of reference, I have my eye on a pair of Tannoy Reveal Active monitors ($899 USD Retail).

They are essentially a pair of small two-way montiors, four internal monoblock amplifiers (two per speaker), and each speaker is outfitted with an internal active crossover.

They have XLR balanced inputs for connection to a preamplifier, as well as IEC power sockets for connection of one power cable to each speaker.

Am I missing something, or is this the best "budget" route to go for reference-quality sound? What do you think?

i personally use ATC active 50's and highly recommend that you take a listen to them as well. the active 10's and 20's are wonderful bookshelf-style speakers and i prefer them to the tannoy line.

listen to both, though, and decide form there. you may prefer the tannoys.

good luck.
