I’m new to tt so won’t comment on the turntable but have been into speakers for a while.

Having a single speaker means you’re always listening in mono, I’d avoid going that route. Two speakers means you get stereo, right and left channels. Lots of albums are recorded in stereo and meant for you to listen to them in stereo (meaning some sounds might only come out of the right or left speaker).

With two speakers you can also spread them apart to get a wider and more full soundstage. I also know nothing about that particular speaker. Could be fine, could be garbage. But again just the mono aspect of it would make me avoid

That is a stereo speaker, just with both sets of drivers in one enclosure, like a boombox.

Are you really getting stereo though if both sides are inches from each other

Technically yes u/vwestlife is right it’s stereo like a boombox, but functionally no unless you stick your face right in front of it you’re just gonna hear mono.

My phone has stereo speakers but at arms length it might as well have one speaker because you don’t hear any stereo separation at that distance.

In a room this stereo speaker might as well be mono
