Active Speaker Recommendation

Looking for a "modern" styled active speaker in a bookshelf size to connect to an Apple TV for casual listening. Any recommendations? Budget is under 1K. I have a very high end main system but want something accessible to everyone else in the house. Needs to be placed near a wall.

I like the VXT 6 design. How is the sound? Price is right. It takes an RCA on the rear? Love to see the rear pictures. Looks like I need XLRs out of the Apple TV which I doesn't have. What do you do? JBLs look nice as well but the porting as you mentioned.

These are in a class by themselves.

If you can still find the closeout priced NHT active sub/sat combo (I believe it was the "S" series) which was designed for desktop use - either PC or nearfield monitoring - it's a very good value. It's not quite full range, but unlike most desktop options (even many of those with subwoofers) you could legitimately call it "extended bandwidth". Any of the NHT sub/sat speakers are IMHO excellent choices at their respective price points.

Good Luck

Actually, I think Macrojack identified the monitors I was referring to. The matching subs are either the s-10 or s-20.
