Do you have passive or powered speakers? (feddit.online)

I have a pair of powered Klipsch bookshelf speakers, and while I don't have any complaints about them, I'm thinking about getting an amplifier and switching to passive speakers, just for a more "purely analog" setup. The speakers I have right now have modern features like a remote and bluetooth, and I don't think I'll miss the remote and I never use bluetooth.

What do you use? I'm not an audiophile by any means, so I'll probably see what affordable, used amp and speakers I can find at a record store or thrift shop, but I'd love to hear your recommendations, too.

I have a 1970s Zenith console, so its powered. I plug in my Pro-ject into the line in. It sounds amazing in my 1912 front room. I have replaced the subwoofers with modern versions. I will probably need to change the mids someday too. The amp inside the console gets pretty warm but theres lots of air space in there for it. I wish it had sound tubes but it was one of the first years that did it without tubes.

I never use the record player that is built into it but the retro power and volume are just so awesome, cool sliders with nice funky color under a glass surface

not a great picture but here is what mysetup looks like https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/473ebc45-0a86-4caa-a38b-8dd3a3a5e395.jpeg
