theres a good thread on audiosciencereview on them right nowi reckon they are a very good choice if you're looking to save a buck and a headache on carefully matching amps, cables, etc. they might also be a good option if your room is medium to small sized.
however i've always questioned how dsp corrected bass would sound vs natural large area surface size offered by a larger woofer. i just get the feeling that digital corrected music would sound different, sound worse.
i've not heard any active speakers however but the passive speakers i've heard with touted frequency response below 30hz always felt 'small' vs my jbl 4367 'big' sound and big bass.
personally I believe its a function of surface area, physics etc. i don't see how two 8 inch woofers in a cabinet that is inadequate in volume to really be able to create true bass. a single 15 inch driver in a 180cubic litre cabinent is going to sound a heck of a lot better than two 8 inch drivers tuffed into a 70litre one.
