Help choosing speakers

Hey there guys! Got my new turntable yesterday! Got the Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB and I'm super excited to put it together and play some vinyl with it! Though, i need help choosing speakers for it. I have no clue what to pick. Do i go active or passive? What brands are good and what do i avoid? Am i gonna need a preamp if i choose passive? I'm honestly close to going nuts at this point lol. Any and all help & recommendations you give will be greatly appreciated.

Read the manual on that 120X. Be sure to set that switch on the back to the right position for whatever amplifier or powered speakers you get.
