  • Hi all. I'm back to tap into your collective knowledge. Having bought the Pro-ject Primary E turntable off the back of recommendations on here, I now need to buy amp + speakers to complete the set up. The speakers that were supposed to fulfil that job are not suitable for purpose.

    So...would you recommend speakers w/ inbuilt amp or a set up with separate speakers and amp? If my budget was c£150-200. If that budget won't cover a half decent speaker/amp set up, I'd prefer to buy one of the two items.

  • That is quite a small budget these days. What kind and size of room are you going to use it in and will you need chest thumping bass?

    (You'll struggle to have chest thumping bass for that money.)

  • Q Acoustics 3020 would be on a lot of short lists for the speakers, second hand is a gamble but might pay off.

  • A little amp from SMSL would be a worthwhile consideration too. As you've got a turntable with built in phono stage you might ask the amp+speakers question in the hi-fi appreciation thread.
