Best speakers for compressed audio

I know that combining real sound quality and mp3's is a contradiction however I'm sure some solutions are better than others. My home system comprises of Linn speakers (in fact I have three pairs), a NAD pre-amp, Rotel power amp and Rega CD player. At work I have a 320 gig hard drive filled with mp3 and flac music files. I recently purchased a pair of Audioengine A5's which sound great but get interference from the office network. I would welcome suggestions as to how to optimize the sound from compressed audio files as the source. Thanks!

Active speaker systems like Audioengines 5s and Blue Sky Monitors (EXO) handle compressed files wonderfully.

If you wish to go passive, I can also recommend the
Fatman iTube amp system out of the UK, tied to smaller monitors like the Paradigm Atoms or the PSB Alphas,
