ok...went to gc today and listen to several monitors...i'm more confused than ever i'm glad to say . i listenend to 4's, 5's, 6's, 8's AND active and passive...they only had one set of passives...i wanted to compare those w/the actives as well since i have a power amp that i could use for pumping some passives. the set of passive were krk sp6's (?)...directly comparing them to krk v6's was so odd...there was no comparison. the actives were much livelier (in the high, mids and lows) than the passives...i asked the sales guy why there was such a difference??? (he basically didn't know)...i asked him about jacking the amp for the passive up...well, it was all the way up. i don't know if they just weren't being pushed appropriately or what. question is, is this typical or were those monitors just not being pushed?....from what i've read by many here, passive seem to be a popular choice when that choice is available...so this was kind of confusing to me??
