The Q Acoustics M20 are great. The best speakers I have ever had, especially when connected to a subwoofer. I use them with a Q Acoustics 3060s subwoofer and they sound awesome. I usually connect my CD players to these active speakers.

If you don’t mind picking up used equipment, check out OfferUp, FB Marketplace, and Craigslist. I picked up an Audio Technica LP120 a few years ago for $120. It’s a great entry level turntable. Do some research and find a few different options that you like then look for used ones. Whatever you do,

Solid advice! I currently have the 6000A paired with a Pro Plus. And I have an Ultra in another room connected to powered speakers (q acoustic M20's).

For the turntable as source you need a turntable that at least allow for replacement and re-balance of a different stylus as they wear and are easily broken. Unless the turntable has line level outputs you will need a phono stage pre-amp either as a separate external box, built into an amplifier or

If you looking at powered speakers, then maybe consider these two options: Q Acoustics M20 HD (SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity review) ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 (SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity review)

ozExpatFIRE already suggested the best passive speaker options. For powered, the Q Acoustics M20 HD would probably do OK. For amplifier e.g. Yamaha A-S301, WiiM Amp Pro, or maybe Loxjie A40 — or separate components like Fosi P4 and Fosi V3.
