Near field monitor advice please
They're about $4500 a pair but a  Genelec 8331a is about the best you could get.  Others I would consider Neumann and Adam.  
Separating cables, is there a mat to help along the way?
If you're not having noise problems don't worry about it. 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
Another vote for Revel Salon 2. Wide dispersion, excellent FR text book speaker.  
Speaker upgrade
Try something different, Genelec 8351b and W371A  with GLM to calibrate to your room.

Do you have any measurements of these home made active speakers? 
USB driver for metronome c3a
Every photo I see of the C3a doesn't even have USB so I have no idea. If it has a USB type b input it might have been added.  I would try one of the downloads on their site and see if it worked.

Purifi Class D: Junk?
I tried a VTV purifi amp months ago but sent it back. It actually sounded fine but the workmanship was a bit lacking and I didn't feel like cleaning the thing up. 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
The 2.2kohm is single ended input to ground, what the amp sees. That’s simply the amp module without an input board connected. The evaluation board that manufacturers use on the amps has a 10.2kohm differential input impedance. In other words you ...

Even with actives it's good to get the best FR , to me that's the flattest, with placement and acoustic treatment before using room correction. My room isn't that bad I've only used a few filters below 200hz on passives and actives I've had.

That links the A500 the A700 are different you can't interchange them.  I've been researching them and the Genelec 8351b. The Buchardt are more consumer friendly which might influence some people, it doesn't really matter to me I'm looking for the...
