Active speakers dominate the studios.
At the home, they are rare.
However recently a couple of companies released active speakers targeted at the home or at least at the desktop.

Monitor Audio WS100

Wireless active desktop speaker.

The wireless connection is done using SKAA, a proprietary protocol.

It can transmit audio lossless up to CD quality.

Range is about 10 m so pretty much like Bluetooth but lossless.
