I’d still consider a small form factor amp and passive speakers. This combo is going to give you WAY more options for speakers. Powered speakers are going to have their own set of issues to deal with. Your going to need a power source for each speaker, plus there’s going to be more cabling involved.
Powered speakers for a turntable
Putting together a system for my adult daughter. Getting her a turntable and giving her an integrated amp. She however has a small apartment and might prefer powered speakers. Considering PSB AM 3/5 or possibly Peachtree M25s or possibly Vanatoo Transparents? Any thoughts or comments?
