those ones I posted don't need to be used wirelessly they have normal inputs and a dac built in they just also have wireless since it's all on one chip and they can charge more I've heard the dynaudio xeos they sound really good
inbuilt dac/amp (active speaker) is trash for children, no way the xeos come close to dynaudio's passive line. the excite x18 is one of the best bookshelves ive heard but it was juuuust outside of my price range

depends on the components, some of the best speakers in the world are active [e.g. wilson audio] and the xeos are their excite speakers with some electronics attached to them, they wouldn't sound any different unless they used crappy components and that's not what dynaudio is known for

active speakers make audiophiles mad because they can't spend 50 grand making them sound the same/worse with giant piles of outboard gear and cables
which of the wilson speakers are active? i dont think teh alexandrias are (the ones they are known for which stebe [pbuh] had a pair iirc)
