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.

You can get powered speakers without silly stuff like bluetooth, especially if your setup doesn't include a subwoofer. I use Adam A3x speakers (I don't think they even make this model anymore) and an Adam subwoofer, though, because I'm into sub-heavy genres like dubstep.

That said, I wouldn't get new speakers just to be more analog - speakers cost money and you're definitely going to lose money even if you buy used and sell your old speakers.
