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

I have a pair of roughly 9 year old AudioEngine HD6 powered speakers that all of a sudden have started making this horrible buzzing sound at 96 dB any time they are turned on (even with no inputs plugged in). Any idea what's wrong with them? Is this something that can be repaired or am I in the mark

Audioengine speakers sound worse than tv speakers?

This must be a technical issue with the TV DAC, the jack, the cord, the input jack of the Audioengine speakers, or defective speaker connections/ speaker itself. There is very little chance your TV speakers will sound better than any standalone bookshelf speaker from a reasonable brand. It is physic

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.
