Need some help making powered studio monitors part of my home audio set up

Is there a preamp that comes to mind that would allow me to do this?
And if I understand you correctly you are saying that I could use a traditional amp so long as it has RCA or XLR or 1/4 output NOT the traditional speaker wire hook ups?

I have bad habit of using, finding and knowing the more pricey stuff…
Maybe something like TOPPING DX3 PRO is in the cheap side?
You might connect TV using input’s like: Optical, Coaxial, Bluetooth, USB-A. Most TV’s have Optical also available.
If TV only has RCA output.. this wont do.

Or S.M.S.L DP3 maybe?
If TV only has RCA output.. this wont do.

yes, pretty much any amplifier (preamp & stereo amp, AVR etc) will do, 1 x PreOut is needed to connect HS8. If amp would have BT also then easy connect with phone.

Yes, do NOT use speaker output.

You can use RCA → 1/4 cable to make the connection.
