i have a pair of active reveals with a matching sub.

they are quite nice, and in price/performance they beat the shit out of 
all the other one i listened to.
of course they are not really high-end, and they sound little held-back 
- the mix does not jump out at you, but otoh i find them rather pleasant 
to use for prolonged periods. they are precise enough for my needs - my 
only grudge is they could be a little nastier in the upper mids, i 
suspect they tend to gloss over problems a little.
disclaimer: i have a pretty dead room with a bookshelf in the rear. 
might be different in a harder room.

the sub otoh is total crap (way too high x-over point, you can clearly 
locate it which i find pretty annoying, and it's not very quick either) 
but i only use it to detect subharmonic garbage in my mixes and then 
eliminate it :)
imho near-fields never really cut it if you want to know exactly what's 
going on below 50 hz...
