Those that use their devices docked, what speakers do you use?
Mine are kind of overkill, but I use AudioEngine HD6’s sitting on top of the silicone stands that they also sell. They’re really bookshelf speakers rather than actual desk monitors, so they’re pretty oversized, but they do sound awesome. I also have it paired to an Emotiva SE8, which is an 8” subwoo

Double DAC?
Yes, use optical, the speakers have built in amp and DAC, and likely EQ to optimize the configuration. This is right from their website... Improve your home theater sound with the HD6 by using Bluetooth or optical input. This approach bypasses inferior audio components in your source device, enablin

Audioengine HD6 alternative
You can replace the amp on your HD6. I just did it and it is working fine now. This link is for the Australian site, but I'm sure support will sell you a replacement wherever you are. https://www.audioengine.com.au/products/p/replacement-amp-for-hd6

Please recommend me monitors or active speakers
Why not keep your 305s for your computer, and get a receiver and good passive speakers to hook up to your TV, and you can also use for music? Audioengine makes great powered speakers. I have the A5+ and I love them. They have the HD6 as well. Add in their S8 subwoofer and you're golden (btw, since y

Decent cheap small full range speakers?
The little PAM8406 class AB amp module I got off aliexpress runs my Audioengine HD6 bookshelf speakers really well... They say it's only 5W but it doesn't even get toasty running those loud enough to hear from the street. 5W is more than you think. If you want small and portable I recommend it - you

Razer clio and leviathan v2
Sorry you haven’t had any luck. I like mine. No issues with a Leviathan v2 Pro or when I switched to an AudioEngine HD6 speaker with subwoofer. I don’t use it all the time, but gaming has been zero issues.

HiFi speaker / audiophile store?
Until two months ago I had Audioengine HD6 speakers which I thought were good, but for only a few hundred dollars more the ELAC and WiiM combo blows them away. I'm officially converted to passive speakers so then you're able to swap the amp and DAC portions out.

Active speakers for a simple living room setup at around 1500$
This won't be the most popular option, but Audioengine makes very good active speakers. The HD6 speakers sound amazing, have all the connections you need, and have great high quality Bluetooth. You'll most likely need a subwoofer. The S8 is okay, but the RSL Speedwoofer 10e is generally considered b

Upgraded my turntable, speakers are next. Seeking guidance.
You need an amp if your speakers are not powered. Most powered speakers are bookshelf units that may not fill your space as you'd like. These may work, especially if you add the sub. (Audioengine HD-6). This could work too. (Triangle Br-04 and Cambridge Audio amp).
