Do I need an amplifier with LP70X?
Check the brand and model of the old speakers and report back! Pass on the small basic entry level 4" Edifier R1280DBs for $199 that are often paired with the bare minimum AT-LP60X.

good beginner setup?
Buy once instead of twice. If you can't get the RT82 now then get a decent turntable instead of the basic AT-LP60X. Entry level turntables with adjustable tonearms: Automatic Denon DP-300F $249 with built in phono preamp. Manual Music Hall $255 https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables/comments/1qcdl36/mu

Is this an okay way to start?
The Daytons are a good value. 2 size options, 4" and 6.5". Then passive or powered options. Passive versions https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-Classic-B65-Bookshelf-Speaker-Pair-Black-300-254?quantity=1
