I'll bet an easy receiver setup with a couple of bookshelf speakers would blow this out of the water.

MAIN reason to never go active!
Plus, you can get such great amps that are more powerful and with more fidelity, for cheaper than the "tax" you pay for going with an Active model.

$2200 for these LS50 is nutso-rama. If I were a KEF head I'd snap up the Q Meta Concertos on sale for $1K/pr and spend the other $1K on a decent sub (e.g. RSL Speedwoofer 10S) with say, a Wiim Ultra amp which offers all the connectivity options you could want, plus a high pass filter and room EQ.
That combo would wipe the floor with this dumb LS50.2 in every possible respect other than compactness and cutesy-ness.

Many better passive options available to pair with an inexpensive class d amplifier. If you gravitate towards KEF the LS50 Meta is a great choice.
If looking for passive speakers, endless possibilities: KEF Q Concerta (currently on sale for $1K/pair) if you like KEF, Ascend 340SE2 or Sierra 1, Wharfedale Evo 5.1 or 5.2 or Denton 1S, ELAC DB63 or DBR62, etc.
