What kind of active speakers?

Thanks Bob, Playnaked, and others. I have actives in my main system and I
agree, they work great!

What kinds of music? All kinds of course. The thing to understand about active speakers is that they are engineered to ensure proper collaboration between the drivers and the amps. They take the guesswork out picking amps and complimentary speakers or vice versa. Consequently, they typically sound great. Why do you think they entire recording industry uses them? Of course, they are much less popular within the consumer world because they don't allow proper audiphiles to do their tinkering that they love to do.

Paradigm used to make a complete active home theater system. The entire system was available for sale here some time ago. I'm kicking myself for not buying it, @#@!

My Paradigm active monitors are excellent speakers with all kinds of music. They sound wonderful and we listen to them for hours. Yet, they are they most dated part of my system. I'd like upgrade, but that invovles going to seperates, which will require more room and additional expense, both of which I can't really spare. I could spring for some active ATC's or PMC's, but they are cost prohibitive and huge. In my small house, the mid-sized Paradigm actives just make good sense. That's why I'm looking for actives for HT duty presently, albeit unsuccessfully.
