Active Speaker Choice

Active speakers utilizing DSP seem to take the room out of the equation, so now I'm now considering going this route, at least at my present residence.

Lots of buzz arounds names like: Dutch & Dutch, ATC SMC 40A, Kii Three, Buchardt A700. 

Most are pretty big bucks, so pricewise, I would prefer to lean more towards the Bucharts' but I'm open a bit (used?)

Most are difficult to demo, so please, if you have comments or recommendation these or any other active speaker you have heard or can recommend, it would greatly be appreciated.

Another option to consider. I purchased the pair pictured on the website. Very much worthy of consideration. The Mini DSP studio adds about 1k to the price. I am still playing with target curve in Dirac and some minor PEQ adjustments. I definitely have a bit of a learning curve in respect to the possibilities that these have.

These look super interesting, but as you say, they look difficult to set up. Maybe to techie for me?

Check out System Audio.  Scandinavian company that make glorious sound song speakers that aren’t crazy expensive.  
I am putting together an opening order in the next month as I think I want to start working with them.  Nice finishes and plenty of power.

Just watched today a live comparison on Alpha Audio
of 3 active speakers, ATC SCM 40A , Dutch & Dutch 8c and 
a Grimm. Granted not cheap, but a perspective on what
you can expect.
