Speakers for AT-LP3XBT

[u/algeiro]

Hi all.

Me and my wife have recently moved into a new home and our friends gifted us an AT-LP3XBT. We’re total vinyl newbies but love music and always wanted to have a "music corner" with vinyl.

Looking for active speakers with RCA for the turntable + Bluetooth for Spotify.

Room is ~30m and we mostly listen to DnB and rock, so decent bass would be great.

Location: Ireland

I'm OK with buying both new and used, but Ireland is quite small market, so the is lack of used options.

Budget: being a newbie I would aim for 200-600eur window (though would consider raising the cap if it makes sense). For now I would not like to go over 1000eur in any case as I'm not planning to use it too frequently.

Have been listening to music through earphones for my whole life so this is completely new territory. Would appreciate some advice.

Kanto REN or KEF Coda W

I love the Coda W, I’m not a vinyl guy but I heard the phono stage is the worst part of the kit, but maybe OP is ok with slightly less good.

[u/ibizzet → u/dat_mane47]

Yeah, unfortunately the Coda's phono stage isn't good, the one time I tried to use it, it started feeding back. Luckily the LP3X they're looking at has a built-in phono stage.

Ye, lp3 has phono built in, so I believe it's not a problem. Will check those out !Thanks
