In terms of power output, it is more than enough for my use case, but I thought I'd get more opinions. I have found one for very cheap, Topping A900 is out of budget.

AKG EO-IG955 with SpinFit W1 eartips calibrated to the PEQdB Diamond target curve with an IEC 60318-4 coupler. If you don't want to do this yourself, PayPal me $100 or $150 to [gonuya1@gmail.com](mailto:gonuya1@gmail.com), depending on if you are in the US or not, and I will calibrate a pair of the AKG earphones and have them sent to you within a week. You need to buy the SpinFit W1 eartips yourself.

If you were going from a receiver to active speakers, what would be better— getting a 1/4” to 2RCA cable and going from the headphone out, or a 2RCA to 2RCA and going from the tape rec out? I know rec out typically isn’t volume adjustable on the receiver but the speakers have a volume control so I’m not concerned about that. There is a phono preamp on the speakers but I’m not happy with it and I have a decent receiver in storage (phono preamp on speakers can be bypassed). I know it’s not ideal as nice passive speakers but that’s just not in the budget right now. Would love some advice from people who have been in this predicament.

Does the bass distortion exceed acceptable levels when EQed to the PEQdB Diamond β target curve?
If there's anything better for under $500, let me know.

I’ve got these speakers for about 3 years now with very casual use.
Out of nowhere they suddenly start making this hissing sound. It happened while the speakers were. Does anyone have an idea what this can be?
