You need volume attenuation (or volume control if your prefer). Your individual records will vary wildly in volume. To compensate for this you will need an easily accessible knob to change the amp gain.
The reason I avoided active monitors in my list is the volume control. Unless you get a set with a remote volume knob (I have a set like this) but the remote will blow your budget.
Sure you could use an app but that's also often not simple or nice to use.
Main advantage of active speakers is amps matched to the drivers by the manufacturers and short cable runs from amp to driver. Overall though they are cheap class d amps and depending on the design prone to overheating in tiny speaker cabs. Also when they fail it tends to happen suddenly and completely.

If you pick an active speaker without controls, a volume knob like mine will do

Cool. Let's say I'm in on the P1. The Plus is 'plug and play' directly to the speakers(?) But presumably I Loose something by not having a separate amp? And if I'm following, the speakers need to be 'active'. (I do not love the aesthetics of the Rega speakers) Do not love. Thanks, this has been super useful. Happy enough to accommodate wires.
