Those are $110 and $180, respectively. Both are much better than the Klipsch.

Also, the R-120SW is currently discounted to $299 on Amazon so you'd have to be nuts to pay $310 used.

I wouldn't recommend it for $299 either BTW. Get the BIC F12 instead. Better sub for the same price.

Better value than Micca RB42.

u/iNetRunner's advice is really solid. Another option would be to go with bargain-basement separates, which might be something like:

Aiyima A04 DAC and bluetooth receiver ($75) (receives digital bluetooth signal from your phone and converts it to analog)

Aiyima A07 amp ($80) (amplifies the analog signal from the A04 and powers your speakers)

Neumi passive speakers ($110) (review)

You'll not hit your budget -- you still need to buy speaker cables and a pair of RCA interconnects to connect the A04 to the A07 -- but you'll be around $300 I'd imagine.

Then, as you get more money, you can improve the speakers, and then improve the amp, and get your system better over time.

Dirt cheap, compact (and kinda crappy) option: https://www.amazon.com/Micca-COVO-S-Compact-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00N8265I8/

If you want to make it dead simple + cheap, just disconnect the drivers in the speakers, and solder in some 4-6 Ohm resistors. Requires zero electronics knowledge, and you can still use the volume control on the second set for setting the sub level. The resistors will soak up the amplifier power.

https://www.parts-express.com/5-Ohm-10W-Resistor-Wire-Wound-5-Tolerance-016-5?quantity=1

Afterward, you will probably want to use EQ to smooth out the bass response, even with dual subs you are going to have some room modes to deal with.

Although if I am being brutally honest, the Z623 has some pretty serious flaws. The "full-range" drivers really only cover about 250-4000Hz properly, which leads to weak mid-bass, an easily localized subwoofer, and uneven upper treble.

It is "hacky" but I would unwire the full-range drivers, and hook the Z623 amplification up to some $110 bookshelf speakers. That way you get a more consistent frequency response and radiation pattern.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YZDS9LF

Even with the ports plugged (which makes them sound better due to less resonance) they still play down to 100Hz, which will make the entire system sound more full.

The small basic inexpensive Onkyo home theater in a box speakers are the sound quailty bottleneck.

Yes there is a TV hooked up with the receiver and I am curious why you ask.

I was wondering if you have an AV receiver because you have more than 2 speakers for movie and TV surround sound.

Better speakers are about better sound quailty, better frequency response, details, imaging and sound stage at any low or medium or higher volumes, not necessarily about playing louder.

If you do ever upgrade:

4" Micca RB42 have a matching center if you like Micca.

5.25" Neumi BS5 have a matching center.

5.25" Monolith have a a matching center.

5x Jamo on sale for under $170 in black or white with 5.25" pair plus 4" pair plus matching center.

The older RT81 is not worth buying anymore since the newer improved Fluance RT82 for $50 more adds a $100 increase in performance and component value since it adds the new optical sensor speed controlled motor for much lower wow and flutter and speed variation and the speed won't drift since the sensor is monitoring the speed 400 times a second. Includes the OM10 cartrdige that is just as good as the newer version 2M Red. Pass on the RT83 since the cartridge is not any better.

Fluance RT82 $299 + Technolink $49 phono preamp is a step up from the basic $15 value phono preamp built into the RT81 + Klipsch KD-400 $329 $159 powered speakers on sale with analog RCA input for the turntable and phono preamp, USB input for a computer, digital optical input for a computer or TV, Bluetooth for streaming audio, and a subwoofer output.

Or the automatic AT-LP3 $249 $125 with built in phono preamp + Klipsch KD-400 $329 $159.

The receiver is decent enough to start with and could last you through a speaker upgrade.

It's the basic tiny inexpensive home theater in a box satellite speakers that don't have any bass drivers so yeah no bass from those unless you have the bass module box they were sold with however that is also basic inexpensive and isn't very good either.

If you were looking at $100 4" Edifiers then you can get a better and larger pair of passive speakers starting at $109.

Having tone control could be nice but the Neumi's are fairly neutral sounding speakers particularly if you plug the ports which should be fine with the sub filling in the low end.

Otherwise if you can stretch by $6 you can remix this configuration if you are OK with the amazon Renewed version of the speakers, and get an upgraded amp with tone controls, a VU meter, bluetooth, PC USB + additional digital audio inputs, and vacuum tubes on the preamp side:The list below would put you $6 over budget but get you a more full featured amplifier:

• Or a bit better Sony STR-DH190 $149 $129 with a built in phono stage preamp with adjustable gain and Bluetooth plus Wharfedale Crystal CR 4.2 $249 $125 black or walnut, add speaker wire $9, 4 Ways to Strip Wire.

If you must get the turntable now, lowest budget decent new speakers and digital mini amp: 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair and Hi-Fi Mini Amplifier Bundle $65. Then later upgrade one part at a time.

Or a bit better digital mini amp and speakers:

• Amp with Bluetooth, Douk Audio G5 100W Bluetooth 5.0 2 Channel Amplifier $43. Plus passive speakers: 6.5" Dayton Audio B652-AIR with AMT Tweeters $55.
• Or an amp with a headphone jack, Dayton Audio DTA30HP 30W Class D Mini Amp $42. Plus passive speakers: 6.5" Dayton Audio B652-AIR with AMT Tweeters $55. To add more sources add a Panlong 4-Way AV Switch RCA Switcher $11. Then optionally add a an Echo Dot $19 for Wifi streaming with voice or app control and is also a Bluetooth receiver.

Or for a small room 4" Edifier digital amp powered starter speakers however you can't later upgrade one part at a time. New S adds subwoofer out jack:

• Edifier R1280Ts $99. Then optionally add a an Echo Dot $25 for Wifi streaming with voice or app control and is also a Bluetooth receiver.
• Edifier R1280DBs $129 adds Bluetooth and an optical digital input for a TV.

Guides:

• Check out r/BudgetAudiophile and their PSA for amplification and speakers.

Whatever you do go with discrete audio components. You could go with a Home Theater in a Box set like this Yamaha YHT-5950U. Or start with a 3.1 setup and add rear speakers later as budget allows.

• Check your local Costco for the Denon AVR-S760H (has been on sale in store lately as low as $250) or the Yamaha RX-V385 would be a (significant) step down option. Even at Costco's regular in-store price of $350 the Denon is likely worth the extra if you can swing it thanks to its HDMI 2.1 support and 7.2 channel amplification.
• A center channel like the NEUMI CS5.
• Front surrounds like the NEUMI BS5.
• Monoprice subwoofer for some kick.

Later add rear speakers as budget allows. A second set of NEUMI BS5 or a set of Micca MB42X would round out the setup nicely. If you get the Denon S760H you could also add a small set of front Atmos height speakers like the Micca COVO-S for a 5.1.2 setup.

The older RT81 is not worth buying anymore since the newer upgraded RT82 for $50 more adds a $100 increase in performance and component value because it adds the new optical sensor speed controlled servo motor for much lower wow and flutter and speed variation and the speed won't drift since the sensor is monitoring the speed 400 times a second. The RT82 includes the OM10 cartrdige that is just as good as the newer version 2M Red on the RT83 so there is not much reason to get the RT83.

If you want lower cost then the AT-LPW30TK $329 $199 with a built in phono preamp instead of the RT80 or RT81.

​

Total budget is $600?

​

Options with powered speakers under $400 or around $500:

• AT-LPW30TK > 5.25" Neumi BSP5 $159 powered speakers with Bluetooth.
• Fluance RT82 > Bozak Madisson CLK-PH8 Phono Preamp > 5.25" Neumi BSP5 $159 powered speakers with Bluetooth.

Connect either turntable to a mini amp or stereo or AV receiver:

• Ayimia A01 Pro $59 mini amp plus the Bozak phono preamp if getting the RT82.

• Onkyo TX-8220 $199 stereo receiver has a built in phono preamp for the RT82.
• Or if there is also a TV in the room an AV Receiver with 4K HDMI starting at $229+ and the Bozak phono preamp if getting the RT82 or $329+ with a Phono input for the RT82. Then you can now or later optionally add more speakers for movie and TV surround sound.
