Aktimate Mini+ for instance makes short work of any Wharfedale Diamond bookshelf or any Monitor Audio BX bookshelf regardless of the amp used. And I have heard these combinations. Monitor Audio BX2 plus a quality amp means at least 500 pounds. And Aktimate Mini+ at 350 pounds is still better. Airmotivs which you get for around $400 are better than $300 Wharfedales with $300 amplifiers.
So, although their are good passive speakers around, but the best powered ones are usually very good and very close, and often better at the same price point.
But that depends on the individual situation.
And I am only talking of retail prices.
