With my headphone amp also being a decent preamp, I have some interest in active monitors for when speaker listening is an option. I know that there is a fairly strong Quad active fanbase around here. I came across the Tannoy Reveal line:

Seems this series has a bunch of options, ranging from passive, to active, to active w/digital inputs, all basically differing in driver size (5, 6, 8").

Anyone heard any version of these?

Friend of mine at university had a set. I thought them a little lean in the bass for my liking but it could just be the way he had them set up.

I actually have no experience with the studio lines from Tannoy :(

My dealer Pete (whom I absolutely trust) does, though he does not carry the studio gear. Even if Tannoy ends up being your bag, it really is all about the Dual-Concentric units, which starts at the Precision line (just above the Reveals). Pete looooves those Precisions. They even took an 8" DC driver from the studio line and built a custom home speaker around it.

DC is really Tannoy's focus. To be honest, if I were not going with a DC unit I'd be looking at other brands!

What about the Elipse monitors, with the separate super-tweeter? I had read a bit about them, looked interesting. They have some processing capability IIRC, to correct for room anomalies......
