While you may not need this powered subwoofer, I think you'll wonder how you lived without it: esp. for rock! There is NOTHING like a good powered subwoofer! This is a very good and reasonably priced speaker Bruce

if your receiver has a jack for bass woofer i would say yes as this will deliver bass better than other speakers

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

Jean, this turntable is capable of reproduction of full musical spectrum with great realism. To hear it, you need the speakers capable of the same. Pint-sized PC speakers won't do. My suggestion is to look for the used speakers in local for sale ads from the late 1970s or 1980s made by the reputable American or British makers. $200 can buy value comparable to $2000 when buying new. Don't forget, you need an amplifier or receiver to drive the speakers. I'd recommend you set the amount you are comfortable with and ask a friend to help you with the purchase. Music is the great reward, and pays to shop with a plan. Good luck ! Jean, this turntable is capable of reproduction of full musical spectrum with great realism.

No, not out of the box no modern receiver will support a turntable. Most high quality pre-amps will cost 100+ so I found this very highly rated pre-amp for a very affordable price here on amazon: ART DJPRE II Phono Preamplifier RCA Type Input and Output Switchable Low Cut Filter

You will need a receiver to drive speakers. The turntable will work with any receiver.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

Yes, but you will need at least 15 watts of power to power up these speakers. So you need a 15 or higher Stereo power Amplifier to connect to the turntable and speakers. As far as cables: speakers wirer and I think maybe RCA cables? I don't know what kind of turntable you have, or are getting?

No, you will still need a phono preamp. If your turntable has an amp built in, then sure.

I like what I read about the Polk so far. I think the price is reasonable. What do you suggest is a good receiver\amp to go along with this from Amazon? Are there any other items I need to modify for my turnatable? I just want to get a total on what I need to spend for the whole set to make it sound good?

I'm not sure to be honest. That would be a question more for the manufacturer. Here's a link to the manual in PDF format. Maybe this will help? http://numark.de/sites/default/files/PT01USB_QuickStart.pdf . If you do pick up this turntable, a great add on is to get a Lepai Mini Amplifier which is around $15. Which will give you better sound adjustment options and the ability to hook up older speakers to your turntable.

I am using it with a great older table (Yamaha YP-D10) and a Denon AVR4800. The speakers can handle the load and are crisp, warm and mellow even when cranked up a bit. Love them.

Thank you for your inquiry. This should be a good match, but there are a lot of external factors to consider such as the size of the room, the type of music you listen to, and how loud you like your music. We don't carry the KEF LS50 speakers, so we are unable to personally attest to their sound. That being said we've heard great things about paring them with the NAD 7050, but some would recommend using the KEF LS50 speakers with a more powerful amplifier. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

First of all, you do need a amp or receiver, and make sure that the equipment has a turntable jack for it, or you can't use it. Second, you do need a good speakers system. And good speakers wires too.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

If your TT42 version has the phono preamp (there are two versions of the TT42, one with and one without), then yes. Otherwise you will need to install a phono preamp on the turntable output. Definitely worth it if space is a premium in your room. We use it as the sound for our living room tv. Right now, I'm streaming audio off my server. Definitely worth the purchase. IMHO. Our great room runs a full Marantz home theater setup (speakers excepted). Been a fan of Marantz for long time. Right price for what you get.

these speakers are just speakers, and still need a amp/signal source. When i got these several years ago, it was part of an amazing Amazon offer that included a yamaha home theatre system, that still rocks today. You'll be happy with these speakers, but you need more stuff. :)

If your turntable has rca hook ups then yes. You will just have to hook it up through one of your aux. Receiver works great for the price. Puts out great sound through our MTX speakers. I hope I helped you out.
