The Hifiman looks very promising. But I'm not familiar with how a hybrid amp operates, embarrassingly enough. Do I need to purchase tubes for it, since it is a hybrid? I was also wondering if it is possible to connect my old 2.1 Logitech speaker set to the amp.
I can only speak with personal knowledge about desktop amps. In that regard I recommend a solid state amp for the Shures, as their highs are their weakest point. The KRK's are a bit bright, so a hyrid or tube amp (in general) is probably best for them. The affordable HiFiMan EF2A amp/dac should work well.
If you have a receiver at home--or access to one--try that first in both cases. At a minimum and by sending a recording of good quality to it and onto your can, it will give you a good reference point at no additional cost.
