Old thread I know but relevant… Musicians Friend price now $299 AND free shipping
I have used the active version extensively. No experience with the passive version, but I used them as:
Flown delay fills for corporates.
Stage monitors for non-rock level shows.
Front fills/out fills on real shows.
FOH for small gigs, or larger gigs not requiring a lot of output (jazz for 500 on a patio, for example).
They are far, far better than TRX. Solid wood construction, nice steel grill, etc.
I think these are an insanely good value at $299 plus free shipping. If nothing else, it should be a great monitor upgrade for clubbers with questionable monitor rigs.
