Bookshelf speaker suggestions for Office

I'll just say up front that I am a complete newbie when it comes to hi end audio. What I'm trying to do is buy some good used speakers, and also a used record player. For speakers, I'm looking to spend anywhere from 400 to 700 dollars. As for the player, I'm open to suggestions. At this point, I am not looking to buy a tube amp, or a better tuner, but definitely in the near future. I already have a decent phono pre-amp for the record player. I would appreciate any advice anyone has. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am trying to fill the entire office which is 10' X 16'. I also want to primarily listen to vinyl. That being said, I was interested in possibly buying a better used record player, as well as monitor speakers. Also, my phono preamp unfortunately does not have volume control, so that might be the best for the Quad 12L's.

So to recap, I think I need to buy a new player, new monitor speakers, and possibly a better phono preamp. Of course, I'll be updating the speaker cables to something on the lower end of the audiophile spectrum.

I really appreciate any and all suggestions.

My thoughts are for now to buy the speakers and phono pre amp.

1. Quad 12Ls
2. Bellari VP129

Was also wondering what speaker cables to get. There was a suggestion to use Van den Hul's Snowline 14awg cable.

Once again, I appreciate all the suggestions.
