I am looking to possibly get some speakers with some good punch and volume with pretty good sound for simply listening to music from my computer...I want to use a pair of outs from my MOTU. Most stereo speakers have bare wire jacks and I'm wondering what I can do to use TRS...I assume there might be speakers made for this? I can't find any so far. I don't have an on board sound card, so a "computer system" is not really possible...any suggestions? I am also trying to reduce the strain I put on my studio monitors...I think I have pushed them a bit because one has a slight buzz in the tweeter, which is a whole other issue I am not thrilled with...suggestions of any kind will help! Thanks fellas!

You'll need an amp for your 'bare wire' speakers.

It would probably sound weird if you were to switch often between your monitors and your 'hi-fi' speakers.
We easily get used to the sound of a speaker, but we really notice the differences going from one to another.

I put most importance in the high end of the frequency range.
Listen to triangles and the like in any speaker you audition. Listen for clarity.
Unless of course you're into bass and nothing else.
You absolutely must audition before buying and bring along several CDs of your favourite music.

Do you intend to have the new speakers also set up around your daw or somewhere in another room ?

They will be around my DAW...I also want to be able to A/B them with my mixes too...and right on the high frequencies...I get the listening part and clarity part but I am lost on what equipment I need to make it happen...all suggestions as well as speaker suggestions will help as well...just to give me a starting point...and I'm working on pretty tight budget, so I'm not tryng to get all crazy with this...

Do you have a reasonably good hi-fi system somewhere else in your place of abode ?

It seems to me you would get a better idea of translation by changing environments, not just speakers.
Like in the car, or your living/listening room, where you are also doing something different.

Putting hi-fi speakers next to your monitors will just show up the differences between your speakers and you may not like either that way.

I think investing in better monitors at your daw, or a better sound system somewhere else, would be a better way to go.

Hi-fi speakers sound so different from each other that you can't really use one as a reference.

I received a set of Sony self powered speakers (SAVA 500) last night with RCA Inputs.

I came out of my MAudio FTU with TRS to RCA plugs and ran an RCA cable from there over to the speakers Inputs.  Works AWESOME

You can get a nice1980's/90's hi-fi amp and proper speakers very cheap. What comes to sound quality the basic hi-fi
has not developed that much from those years.

If  you want to save some money and have a good amp for monitoring/listening. 
go for an ""Class A" amplifier on ebay.
Class A amplifier integrated circuits  sound relatively neutral.  

I only have one room(for now), ...I get all the listening in different environments. I appreciate all the other advice, but that is not what I am specifically looking for here.... So with that said, it's mainly just going to be for listening to music for pleasure...I will A/B my mixes, but just for craps and giggles. I have pretty good monitors and I will be adding a second set of those at some point, but for now I am just wanting to figure out how to get from my MOTU to a good set of hi fi floor speakers...nothing crazy...I am gathering I will need a good class A amp and I assume I can just use tip adapters to get the TRS to RCA? Thanks fellas as always...

TRS to RCA should work ok, it does for me.

As far as class A goes, that might be nice (if we're talking tubes) but I wouldn't say it's a requirement.

Class A runs hot, it's always on max. And good class A tube amps are really expensive.

The bottom rung of higher-end audio is fine, something like NAD or similar. I like British. 35w/ch minimum. 50w and up even better.
Forget big-box stores and be very wary of mass market equipment specs. Be wary of mass market equipment.

You absolutely have to go and audition any speakers in person. Speakers are out there at all sorts of prices that'll make you go "wow", but there are an awful lot more that won't. Go around to several audio stores with your favourite cd's (no mp3s). Go back several times. There are huge differences in sound between speakers that may have nothing to do with price. This will be immediately obvious to you once you a/b a few in a store.

I really like KEF Q-series speakers.

Then treating your room will only make whatever you buy sound even better.

Excellent stuff....so Best Buy is not the place to go...LOL
