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.

My headphones work both ways. If I physically plug them in, I don't have to turn them on unless I want the noise cancelling and bass boost features.

My actual speaker speakers need an amp. I have a pair of RCA speakers from an old (90s) record player.
