Oh, and they work just as well if not better in a traditional hifi setup than nearfield. Just make sure the room is not too large or overdamped. In my medium size living room, I've heard these JBLs do things with imaging that my big hifi rig can't.
I use 1/4" TRS to RCA adapters with 2m RCA interconnects from my DAC, and the performance is flawless. No hiss, interference, or the like.
Previous post says he used an adapter for the large single plug hole (not the 3 prong balanced plug), and used RCA cables (those that you find on older tv's, before HDMI and display port came about) to receive signal from his digital to analog converter (DAC). You need a DAC if not using earphone plug from your device (be it PC, TV, etc)
Now, I'm going to blow your mind. If I put my ear an inch from the tweeter, I can hear a tiny bit of amplifier hiss. Interestingly, I hear more hiss on the speaker where I am using an extension cord with the included power cord. If I switch to my premium power cord that made clear improvements to my DAC, the hiss is more audible and more complex. Cables do matter! If I plug the speaker directly into the wall or into one particular power strip, the hiss is louder and more complex. If I plug into another power strip, it's much better. HOWEVER, none of it is perceptible as far as I can tell at this point for anything like normal listening. You might have a hissy speaker, or you might just have a grungy power supply or power strip, or both. You should experiment a bit and maybe try an inexpensive power conditioner intended for audio that you can return if it doesn't help. Or you could listen to another pair at a pro audio outlet near you -- take your current ones with you for comparison -- and sell the ones you have if they are fundamentally flawed. Good luck taming that hiss!
