Please recommend some active speakers

I'm looking to pick up a pair of active speakers. Space constraints dictate that not having to purchase an amp or receiver is highly beneficial at the moment.

I was looking at the Paradigm Active 20 and 40 models. Can anyone recommend any other good active speaker models in this price rage? I thin the Paradigm 40's might be just out of my price range so something closer to the 20's would be best. They should be bookshelf monitors. Looking to buy used.

Many thanks.

Checked out the Event SP8 at a local store. Sound was amazing but those speakers are HUGE!

I like the SP8 because it is sufficient in low frequency reach that you probably don't need a sub. There is also the SP6 which is a little smaller. Still pretty good frequency reach too - so you may not need a sub.

Anyway size should be a fairly easy compromise to make knowing that you will be getting a quality low priced active monitor that is almost full range.

Anyone heard the Dynaudio BM5A active studio monitors? I would love to have a pair of Active 20's or 40's, but they are hard to find.
