Who runs an active system - who runs a passive?

axisplayer:
All passive.

RoadRanger:
Those of you running active monitors - how do you prevent the controls on them from being tweaked?

A gun.

Aside from the talent screwing with them, I'd be worried about the controls getting moved in transport - so you'd have to check them all every time you set up? Passive monitors just seem easier to deal with. I have a 17 lbs 4 channel 2U amp in its own case for them

Do you use them fancy cables that have both AC and XLR cables in them?

Gorgon90:
Due to the band reforming at the moment, the PA is to be finalised but we used to use my ancient Carlsbro powered monitor with extension cab for vocals and acoustic guitar with front of house PA being a desk, power amp, and passive speakers.

This was for playing bars/small venues, anything too big for this we'd hire it in.
