ATC active vs. passive
As stated often here, it's best to audition, both if possible. I understand that can be difficult to do but we all perceive things differently. My experience as an active speaker designer / manufacturer is that, all else being equal, an active ver... 
LTL Freight Shipping Company Recommendation for Speakers
