Active Speakers: The usual suspects ....


I'm interested in purchasing 'active' loudspeakers for a planned surround system. Although the "usual suspects" such as Quad, JBL, Dynaudio, KRK, Genelec, ATC, and PMC are ALL good/great speakers, I am wondering if there are other active speakers to consider that I haven't listed?

I did listen to DigiDesign RM2 active speakers designed by PMC. I felt, like many of the reviewers have stated, that they were overpriced at $3500 pr (and out of my price range).

Again, I'm seeking a suggestion or two concerning active monitors that might not be as well known as those I've listed.

Any and all comments appreciated.

Thank You

Infinity Intermezzo 2.6 are awesome for the price used. I have had mine for many years and just got the upgrade bug after 6 years.

Meyer - HD-2's are real nice
Nova S applause

Blue Sky
Quad

to name a few more.
There is a new Klipsch Active out for like $2500 that is a nice looking speaker for HT and pretty cheap....should be fun to check into and see if its a winner.
I've also learned Focal makes a line of active speakers. The Solo6 Be and Twin6 Be look interesting .... however, neither one has an 'active' digital crossover. I hate to ask: Is that critically important?

I've noticed quite a few of the pro audio monitors are 'active' in terms of amplification, but they don't have a digital crossover. The DigiDesign RM1 & 2, and JBL LSR 4328s do, however, some of the other one's I am considering do not.

Does it matter?

Thank You
