> Q Acoustics M20 HD

$599 From qacoustics.com

Q Acoustics’ speakers are the most fully– featured on test but also the most expensive. One speaker is powered and sends sound to the other, which is passive. You can run sound in via a 3.5mm jack, stereo RCA, digital optical at up to 24–bit /192kHz, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD codec for high quaity streaming. Connect the speakers to your Mac over USB and they will receive high quality audio that way, too.

There’s a hefty 65 watts of power on offer and the cabinets are rear ported for deep and rich bass extension, with foam bungs also supplied if you prefer a tighter bass end. Switches can be used to alter the sound to compensate for room placement and a remote control enables easy source switching. These speakers sound fantastic, with a coherent soundstage that handles music playback as effortlessly as movies or games. With so many inputs, there’s not much you can’t hook up.
