HD6

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

Yes, use optical, the speakers have built in amp and DAC, and likely EQ to optimize the configuration. This is right from their website...

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

You've got to give one of those up. Do keep in-mind that the performance of a set of speakers is extremely depende

Nice Audioengines! I have been running the HD6 for years and they're so lovely.
