With the notable exception of ATC's (which are v good and v expensive),
Harbeths and B&W's, I personally haven't heard full size studio
monitors that sounded truly great in a normal domestic setting. Don't
forget they are usually optimised to sound OK in a heavily treated
control room / mastering

Yes, active studio monitors have built-in power

That is a GREAT price on the Lavry, I am jealous :-)

I don't know where you are moving but I am sure you could sell it if

Combined with the SB you are in Transporter territory for less money.
I prefer the TP but the margin is very small and very subjective. If
dollars were tight the SB>Lavry is the way to go IMHO.

There is no way back. When you lose your virginity - you can't get it
