All of them have volume control so you can connect any source component directly. All of them employ waveguides to obtain smooth controlled off-axis response.
Active speakers have the advantage of being small, so WAF is high. Studio monitors often have features that you don't find in domestic speakers, such as volume control, EQ, electronic limiters or metal grilles protecting the drivers. IMO studio monitors deliver much bang for the buck, more than domestic speakers, which makes them very attractive pricewise.

Speakers are (from top to bottom)
Klein+Hummel O500C
Genelec 1029A
Genelec 8020A
