Hi,
As I have little knowledge around this topic I would like to ask a question and seek advice.
The system that I am about to buy is made out of these 3 components:
-Onkyo TX-NR 6050 receiver
-KEF - Q Series 6.5" 2-way Bookshelf speakers (pair)
-Audio Technica ATLP60 XBT Bluetooth stereo turn table
1) the receiver model and brand I wrote would work fine with those speakers?
2) the turntable would also run with the receiver I hope. is this fine ?
3) what kind of subwoofer would you recommend that works well with this receiver and speakers?
I checked the nearby stores where I live and these are the available products it seems I can choose from that fits my budget:
Polk Audio PSW108 10" Powered Subwoofer
Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer, 100W
Klipsch - Reference Series 10" 150W
Thank you all for your recommendation
Cheers

1. yes
2. yes
3. I have the Polk PSW10 with the TV - it's not very good, but it's really cheap. Speedwoofer looks much better https://rslspeakers.com/speedwoofer10s-mkii/
4. This is the wrong forum for all these questions

Thank you motokok for your answers. I did not know where to post. Sorry.
That subwoofer is a bit out of my price range for now but thanks again. Have a nice day.

AAAAARRRGGHH! You don't need 7.2 channels, nor bluetooth, to play records.
And the speakers... Kef Q-series? The boxes with one coaxial speaker ?! I prefer 3 way speakers and no subwoofer: don't be fooled, as you might think: " Eh, 3 way and you have two big woofers, that's why..." No, I like small speakers .

There are some nice small loudspeakers. I have not heard the KEFs.
The Onkyo Chris has is good, but as said, you don’t need more than stereo.
The TT, is, ny my estimation, crap.

Re:'The TT, is, ny my estimation, crap.' I agree, it doesn't appear to have any way to adjust the cartridge weight
This is the sort of system you end up with when you buy on price, not quality, it'll never be satisfying, more research needed....

There's something I Need in those two Pages
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/audio-...-safety-raiser-silver/6409674.p?skuId=6409674
It's an arm lifter...yes, it's 129$
It's an important accessory that I find difficult to make
...still 129$ are a little too much (for. Me)
So I'll keep picking the head with the fingers, in the meanwhile thinking of the perfecl arm lifter. Thinking also of a MC head...It goes all together: Money> thingy>safety practice to keep your goods in working condirions

Mmhh..a simple leverage might work!
So, for an arm lifter I Need 1mm diameter steel wire( the dark one...) And a Little tube 2 cm for making the fulcrum, and then bend the steel 90° in two points...afterwhile Stick the holder/fulcrum to a Mass..🙂

There are Black Friday deals everywhere online. Within your budget, and based on what I browsed, I would not buy anything from Best Buy, and that includes the KEFs!
BTW I see people mentioning spending about 1000$ on a phono preamp, something like the Salas...mmmhhh the PSU I remember was a Little complicated (mine runs on a 9+9 V AC unregulated 🙂 ) and the case from CNCed Aluminum some like...that's Crazy!
Am I a Little downgraded in my taste if I prefer phonopre's saveged from old integrated amps?

I thing the issue i am having is being stuck with the idea of "listening to the device" before i invest money. i am sure you are right that i can find better deals , but I want to hear it first . So, when I went to Best Buy I was able to listen to the sound of the KEF's. I am not sure if I want to buy something w/o hearing it. But i am sure you are right that there are better products for the same money.
