I have a Beresford TC-7510 DAC > Darkvoice 336i tube amp, into which I put my Senn 650's. However, I want to have the capability to broadcast the sound throughout the room, for if me and my friends are playing video games, or want to play some music. Therefore, I will need a set of speakers. However, they have to be compatible with my current setup, which is optimized for the 650's. This means they must be able to be powered by the 336i, have a 1/4" jack to plug into it. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money, or to have reference quality sound, but rather to be able to crank it up and hear it better than the built-in speakers on my TV.

First of all let me say this is one of my favourite BA driver earphones I have ever heard. That said, being a basshead, these didn't deliver in the bass department - I can't deny the fact...

I've had this card for quite a while now, and I have to say its a really nice card - a huge step-up to my on-board motherboard's audio. At first I do have to admit, it didn't feel like the D1...

Long story short: These earbuds, shouldn't ever be bought, when they come free in your iPod package, its fine to look at them, and try them on. If you know someone wanting to buy these,...

If all you want is better sound better than your tv speakers, you don't need a recommendation from anyone.

I had a longer response, but I can summarize it briefly: you can't drive speakers with a headphone amplifier. Also, there are no speakers that have a 1/4" stereo input.
If you're not interested in purchasing a proper speaker-driving device like an integrated amplifier or a receiver, you're probably better off looking at a pair of computer speakers (ex. Klipsch ProMedia 2.1). You could buy a y-cable or some adapters and split the output from whatever source you're using (i.e. video game system) to both the computer speakers and the headphone amplifier.

Your headamp puts out only 1 watt and is designed to drive higher impedance loads than virtually any unpowered speaker presents.
Some very high efficiency speakers could put out moderate volume levels with only 1 watt, but you would blow up the headamp in short order.
"Cranking it up" and "1 watt" are pretty much mutually exclusive.
