A pair Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speakers and a budget fosi bt20a amplifier, all you cost is 119+75 = 194USD.
Hey again! I was looking through Amazon again and I found these speakers for about half off. Is there any reason for this, or is this a good deal? https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R-41M-Powerful-Detailed-Bookshelf/dp/B07FKH3VPV/ref=asc_df_B07FKH3VPV/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312150547590&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5362116008880934252&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012886&hvtargid=pla-548337913656&ref=&adgrpid=70581793108&th=1
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.
A lower cost better value option is AT-LPW30TK $249 $175 with built in phono preamp + Klipsch KD-400 $329 $159.
Or the automatic AT-LP3 $249 $125 with built in phono preamp + Klipsch KD-400 $329 $159.
Or instead of powered speakers, a separate amp and passive speakers:
