These stunningly good powered monitors are WiFi/Bluetooth enabled (+support for Spotify Connect and TIDAL). All you need is your phone/laptop with a music streaming service; add your turntable for bonus functionality. There's an output for a sub for extra bass if you want, but at 200 watts pumping the low range you probably don't need it. For the money I honestly don't know how you can get better sound out of a what amounts to a beautiful minimalist system. One owner, bought new, cared for. (I'm only selling to finance the remainder of a gifted (partial) system.)
Extras offered:
Pro-Ject Audio Systems Phono Box DC MM/MC Phono Preamp with Line Output--excellent condition $75.
