What kind of active speakers?

No but if you do find a good solution, let us know! Besides the ones mentioned above, I only know of a few brands off hand that would do a superb - reasonably affordable? - active mini monitor offering for such purposes.(Old M&K THX actives, Blue Sky(?), ATC (expensive?), others???
I do very well know the strengths of a well executed active speaker, to be true. So, yea, if you come up with a stellar option, that you think sounds fantastic (dynamic, detailed, clear, coherent, etc), I'm all ears! Cheers and beers...

Bob, I actually have presumed - from reading some articles, somewhere - that near field monitors were designed specifically for a "close monitoring" setup, exclusively. I thought that they designed the crossover and driver compliments in these speakers to propagate the sound so that everything came together in closer proximity to the listener. My understanding was that some speakers require you to sit further back to get the phase correct between drivers, but could be misunderstanding here. In fact, I've read more than a few speaker reviews over the years, where engineers and reviewers alike stated that this or that speaker was designed to be listened to from a minimum listening distance for proper sound. Dunlavy and Thiel speakers come to mind. So I'm not sure how all that "near-field" genre works completely.
You may be entirely right, in that it's just a marketing point, or limited response issue. I'm presuming it's more to it that that. Dunno.
Well, guess I could always research the subject. Yes, I'll do that.
But hey, if I'm way off, let me know.

Thanks Bob.
Oh BTW Bob, are those JBL's "near-field monitors" or are they also applicable for typical medium or better domestic living space or average home theater, in terms of design/dispersion, etc?
My first thought is they appear to be near-field.

Um, cause I don't see any speakers like this marketed for home theater, that's why! When I think Mackie, Genelec, and then some active JBL's, I automatically think "Pro audio: - and then I think "pro studio" - and then yet again I think "near-field"
Don't get me wrong, I am definitely hoping they are designed to perform for HT. In fact, I hope they are awesome! Cuase then I'd like to hear some and audition them.
