Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth
soix makes a good point. Each of those speakers has its strong points. It depends on your priorities. 
Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?

Way too much to think about. Way too much.

77jovian,That entire disc is wonderful. It's called Running in the Family.
