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.

I have built a active big 3 way speaker before. best bass ive ever had. but the sound was mechanical.
same with genelec 1037 that I had before, good sound, but not natural

Im a fan of low order crossover. first order assure one to have a good phase response between the drivers.

My limited experience so far seem to point that both can be good but i will stick to passive's.
