active professional monitors for HT


I am considering active pro monitor speakers for a 7.1 HT. Possibilities include the JBL LSR4326P or Focal Solo6 Be...based on reviews and comments I've seen, since I haven't auditioned anything yet (the room isn't even designed yet, much less built).

Would welcome any comments on (1) the idea of using pro active monitors in a HT, (2) specific speaker suggestions that I should try to audition ($1000-2000 per pair street price range), (3) feedback on the JBL and Focal speakers mentioned above.

The room is going to be in the area of 2500-3000 cu ft, and I will probably use an existing Pardigm Reference Servo-15 sub.

Stearnsn,

What else did you audition before picking the HD-1? And how much did the HD-1s sell for, street?

Thanks.
They were $4000 each but I got them just before a price increase.

I listened to bluesky & dynaudio but not in my home.
I auditioned a bunch of small, powered, studio monitors about a year ago. The Mackies are quite good but the Dynaudio impressed me the most. These really sound like audiophile speakers.

The ones I checked out are for nearfield use, though. Not sure how they'd sound if you were more than 5 feet or so from them.
Watched a movie with my son last night that I have probably seen 50 times. "Cars" was amazing on my new system. It was like I had never seen it before. The audio was outstanding. The energy this system produces made me feel like I was at a Nascar track.
