Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen

kota1,

  If I were to start all over again, the total price wouldn't bother me so much. In fact, if this an item that spells out the answer for audio in the long run, likely money would have been saved. Really, just look at the total spent on audio over decades in our systems. And in the case of speakers, I have kept one pair (coincidently the one that I posted about here) for well over 10 years. It wasn't until I started to build speakers again that I sold these, of course at a loss, and tried new designs. 

   It is too late in the game to start again considering my age and hearing. In the end, I am glad to have the chance to have so many experiences with all audio, i.e., not just in stereo/music but the observation of it in daily life. 

@russ69 , IDK about choices being limited

The LS-60 was the only one I could think of.  At 45 Hz the PW60 is not a full range loudspeaker in my opinion. 

Active speakers not as good ,for the quality of the amplifier is night and day better with separates of good quality , I am not saying digital amps are all bad but n a speaker you are never getting their best efforts. The speaker cables too need to be of good quality ,any worthy Audiophile would already know this.

So a Klispch Hersey lV speaker isn’t a full range speaker because it only goes down to 48hz?

I wouldn't listen to anything that paradigm has to say their best speakers are very bright and edgy with that beryllium mid-range and tweeter definitely not high-end audiophile quality speakers. and extremely overpriced.
