I will probably be taking the same plunge later this year. Everything is on hold right now because we are finally starting the remaining construction on the basement. I will have the fronts pre-wired for actives although I will only be using the passives for the time being. Mat, I would love to hear your impressions moving from the passives to actives when you get them.
