For the price paid, these are fine. FWIW, I listened to the Audioengine A2+ at a local store and then the Yamaha HS8 and loved the HS8 sound. I almost bought the Yamahas the last time they came up on MD, but decided against them due to price and the fact that I do use my headphones to listen when I want the better quality sound.
I went for the HiVi M50W because I eventually decided that these would only be listened to 3-4 feet away. The sounds off the desktop set up is also background noise for the office as I am in an open office setting. The puck control is set at max and the sound card volume is only 8 of 100 for myself and 15 if people 30 feet away want to hear what I am playing. It's a loft space design office so we're all pretty loose around here.
The speakers are fine, it definitely does not compare to my high end headphones, but IMO it's better than the A2+, but would not compared to the sound from the HS8 monitors. Problem with the HS8 for the office would have been that placement was not optimal, also another reason to go with the HiVi M50W.
I was wondering though if I should try to feed it off a portable DAC to see if there is any incremental improvement in sound. Will have to try that when I have time.

GLC888Yamaha...Now there is a company that knows how to manufacture Stereo Equipment. They make some of the best receivers on the market for the price. I've owned Onkyo, and Integra receivers for decades, but Onkyo's customer service SUX these days. That's the primary reason I will most likely choose Yamaha over Onkyo when I purchase my next Receiver.
