Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons.

Hi all, 

I've normally discounted the notion of active/passive speaker combos, but am warming up to the idea and may give them a listen.  Golden Ear gets good reviews, but i'm intrigued by the new Paradigm Founder Series 120H.  

Curious if anyone has heard the Founders, or maybe compared the Active Persona 9H against one of the lower end versions.  

Thanks in advance.

In all of my experience active speakers were always suggested to be better than passive speakers.

The main (only?) drawbacks were always said to be greater expense and greater complexity of setup.

Having said that the only active setup I was quite familiar with was an Alpine car system.

Did it sound good?

Yes it did, with an exceptionally dynamic and fluid sound!
