Hi, can I know what cables to use to connect both speakers together without any issues like hiss? Anyway my cables is taking ages to deliver and I'm stuck with a pair of speakers I can't use and I am not willing to wait. Any recommended setup or cables for the speakers better than the provided 3.5mm TRS to dual ¼-inch TS cable? So I won't be spending extra money on additional cables that does the same thing.

Leon95I'd recommend ordering cables from Monoprice that feed into the XLR inputs on the speakers. High quality and they work well. I ordered 2 RCA to XLR cables to connect my headphone amp to them using the RCA outputs and they are spectacular. Fantastic deal even without the cables. You can definitely get better if you want to pay up, particularly passive monitors for which you need a power amp since the amp built into the speakers is a Class D amp but for the price, these are amazing.

Leon95I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K39U1NE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 based on recommendations from other members. I don't have the speakers yet, but these cables look and feel to be high quality. According to reviews on amazon, and what other members have said, hiss is no issue. I almost went with the monoprice rca-xlr cables, since I would assume xlr would be "better" than ts, and I like monoprice products in general. However, they are about twice the price of these Kirlin cables on amazon, and even though they're only $5 a piece on monoprice's website, the shipping cost makes them more expensive still. Besides, since I'm coming from an unbalanced source anyway (NFB 11.28), it shouldn't really make a difference. Also, I've seen multiple reviews from people saying the monoprice cables were soldered poorly, or even wired improperly for connecting an RCA source to an XLR output. So that's something to keep in mind.
According to my tracking info, my speakers should arrive tomorrow. So I will post an update after getting everything hooked up to confirm that these Kirlin rca-ts cables are a solid choice.
EDIT: I just realized you never actually said you're coming out of RCAs. What is your source? That's an important thing to know when recommending cables lol.

akapurAlright, thanks for all the reply. Anyways I got a local audio hardware store to specially make a 3.5mm jack to dual balanced xlr at a very affordable price. I'm a normal consumer and not into spending more on dacs or amps. The cable works amazingly and I can plug it to any smartphone, computer etc and the speakers will play beautifully. No distortions whatsoever. :)

Leon95Umm that doesn't sound correct, in order to have the benefits of a balanced input on the speakers you need a balanced output from your audio device. If you're using a 3.5mm jack than I believe that's not balanced so I don't think you are actually getting the benefits of a balanced cable. You would need a day or amp or just some device that specifically has a balanced output.
