Advice - Active SBL system with 272 or 250DR/272/Proac D30 Rs?

I am lucky enough to be able to set up a second, tv system.  I have two potential alternatives about which I am torn and would like your views. 

General points:  room is small and so the siting of SBLs against the back wall is appealing.  Concomitantly, speakers out into the room will not work.  Uses of the system will be mainly video -- cable tv, stream movies, as well as music.  This is the family system.  It will be fed a wide variety and quality of sources, from high res audio files all of the way to standard cable signal, xbox signal, ipod files, etc.  Most of the users are not focused on listening for the highest resolution.  They just want to enjoy the movie, tv shows, the video game, as well as music.

Alternative one is active SBLs.  I have a pair of 135s, and this alternative would involve getting 1) a second pair of 135s to make a four pack; 2) an olive active crossover that I would power with an existing olive hicap or, if it improved the sound over a hicap, an existing olive supercap; 3) a 272 for streaming; 4) a 555 PS for the 272; and 5) a pair of SBLs in fantastic shape and with an interesting pedigree.  All of the older electronics -- the 135s, crossover, hicap/supercap -- have been recapped recently.  I will get these from a local dealer who is not only very knowledgeable and capable, but will set up the active system in my house.  Sources for the system will be the 272, including music, including high res files, stored on a nas, cable tv signal, and my son's xbox. 

Alternative two:  1) a pair of Proac D 30R; 2)  250.2 DR; 3) 272; and 4) 555 PS for the 272.  I would use the 135s I currently own in this system, but my dealer highly recommended using the 250 with the Proacs. 

I will admit that I am seriously entertaining the active system based upon, in part, nostalgia.  I have always loved the way a well-set-up active system sounds.  At the time SBLs were in production, the cost of an active system was beyond my means, and I was advised that an active system is difficult to maintain, but that it requires that difficult maintenance all the time to deliver the great sound of which it is capable.  I am still wary of an active system due to this complexity factor, but am willing to learn. 

I have listened to the Proac alternative outlined above and it sounded airy and open -- the ribbon tweeter seems to work well -- and the lower frequencies had weight and realism although the lows were not as fast or tuneful (a bit more bloated) than the electrostatic speakers I use in system one (I know they are different animals; I am not comparing, I am just offering my impression).  I suppose there is an advantage to having current production products.

I would appreciate any thoughts or considerations.  If anyone has experience with systems like those outlined, I would love to know what you think.  For example, does an active system require constant tending -- a pain in the ass?  Does it get old?  Would the lack of quality of a cable signal be particular annoying in an active system v. the proac system?  Does the possibility of going from active SBLs to DBLs do away with any drawbacks with active SBL system?

Thanks in advance for your help.
