Interesing i always thought active was way better as many people claim ... no i'm hesitating to buy DIY speaker instead of pro active one... the more you read the more you are lost.
The speakers were in the same room ?

I completely disagree about Actives being better than passives. Went from $1.2k Mackie Hr824 (and previously Mackie MR8s to Adam A5s) to $600 B&W 685s and the B&W blew the mackies out of the park in terms of their overall presentation. Imaging and soundstaging really out did any active speaker I have ever heard. Detail is probably better, but I'm not in a position to compare because I don't have the Mackie's with me anymore.
A decent amp, e.g. Onkyo A-9555, can be had for under $400 used, so you really don't save any money with Actives.
