M20

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.

Besides Denon and HEOS, you could also go with WiiM products. For example with WiiM Pro Plus (ASR review) for your turntable room (because of the better ADC), and either WiiM Pro or WiiM Mini for the other room. Additionally you might want to consider slightly increasing your budget for some better

I suggested the Q Acoustics M20 HD powered speakers. If you want to go with passive speakers and a amplifier (for each room), then it isn’t going to be cheaper. Instead of a separate streamer and amplifier, you could go with WiiM Amp (ASR review), or the better (more expensive) WiiM Amp Pro (ASR rev

For powered speakers maybe consider the Q Acoustics M20 HD (SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity review). For passive speakers with the NAD, e.g. the ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63-BK (EAC review).

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). I'm toying with the idea of WiiM Amp Ultra to replace the 6000A/Pro Plus, at least I am going to A/B test it. The main drive for this (apart from siz

In Europe, for a 500€-600€ powered speaker budget, maybe look into the Q Acoustics M20 HD (SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity review).

600€ is slightly tight for quality passive bookshelf speakers, and amplifier with enough inputs for you. For powered speakers, consider e.g.: Q Acoustics M20 HD) (SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity review). Passive speakers, e.g. ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63-BK (EAC review). Or maybe something from DA
