Reddit mentions of BT20A Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Audio 2 Channel Amplifier Receiver Mini Hi-Fi Class D Integrated Amp 2.0CH for Home Speakers 100W x 2 with Bass and Treble Control TPA3116 (with Power Supply)

first of all, you'll be fine. it sucks getting dumped. good job investing in yourself while you get back on your feet.

second, you will definitely need an amp for those speakers.

third, you don't need a DAC if you don't want one.

fourth, you can either get a little amp that will drive your speakers and have an earphone jack, or get an amp for the speakers and a portable headphone amp.

​

if you want an amp just for the speakers, you can get nice ones for $75 all day long on amazon.

that cable you linked is all you need to go from your computer to the amp.

​

if you want to get a bit creative w/your cables, you can use your headphones directly w/the computer w/o buying any more equipment...

grab a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/adapter-Hi-end-Splitter-Adapter-Plated-KK-07/dp/B01H9QW6FY/, and then basically the female version of your original cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQM71H8/

​

the piggyback adapters plug into the RCA inputs on your amp.

male 3.5mm to RCA goes from the computer to one of the sockets on the piggyback adapters

female 3.5mm to RCA uses the other sockets on the piggyback adapters, and your headphones use that cable.

You will need some kind of amplifier. Most people use a receiver, but if you don't need that much, something like this would work. It has bluetooth to connect to your phone/laptop, but you will need speaker wires to connect it to the speakers.

Yeah I'd like to keep it under 200; although I'm not opposed to buying used (stereo gear seems to be like 20-30% of the new price). My garage is unfinished so it's only going to be set up on a bench in the back. I just couldn't stand the fuzziness and jazz with the jambox I bought to replace the other system so I figured I'd ask around. someone recommended these

Noob here. I'm an IT guy that's been tasked with adding a sound system for background music for a very small coffeeshop. Basically, I've got 1 room to provide sound for that is approximately 20' x 30' with 9' ceilings. My budget for doing this is around $450.

I've been looking at amplifiers like this

https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Audio-R-S202BL-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B01EMQI2CU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=yamaha+rs202bl&qid=1571585324&sr=8-4

or this

https://www.amazon.com/BT20A-Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Integrated/dp/B07BQC7GNL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=bt20a&qid=1571585361&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFMNkRZM09SVjlBS1YmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxMTkwMDdKUFhOSFJDQlJLQlomZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDEyNjQ1NEE4OVROMFlKSjc5WSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

and putting in ceiling speakers like this

https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Ceiling-Speakers-Placement/dp/B00006BMQT/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=polk+in+ceiling&qid=1571585254&sr=8-3

Will I be fine with what I have listed, or are there better options, especially for the amplifier?

It's just for my bedroom for casual listening. Would this work better?

If you want bluetooth speakers there's a whole sub for that I'm sure would be glad to help. I personally would go passive speakers and an amplifier. Something like the following would work well I think. A simple 2.0 with decent sized speakers should do very well in a garage setup.

​

Amp - BT20A $80

Speakers - BIC DV62$120 and speaker wire $10

​

​

I purchased this -BT20A Bluetooth 4.2 for a little listening station in my living room. It does a great job powering a set of Polk satellites and a 10” passive subwoofer

I found this amp:

https://www.amazon.com/BT20A-Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Integrated/dp/B07BQC7GNL/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I think i am going to use this with a cable like the one below and just use the AUX on my PC

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-iXCC-Shielded-Gold-Plated-Stereo/dp/B019D048XC?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

What do you think? I plan to buy a DAC in the future if I am having issues. You think this will work for what I want?

Is there an advantage to having that amp and Chromecast Audio versus something like the Fosi BT20A?

So I'm by no means a hobbyist. In fact, as of today I just purchased my first pair of ELAC bookshelf speakers. Over at r/buildapcsales, people were raving over these speakers for the price. So I bit! The problem is I know next to nothing about how to set these things up.

​

I know I need Banna plugs, speaker wire and an amp (and a sub ^(ill probably buy a) ^(Polk) ^(later)). I will be using these with my new PC I'm building currently. I'd also like to be able to run my echo do (mainly for Alexa functions and streaming music) through this system.

​

I have a few amps in my cart atm via Amazon.

​

• Dayton Audio DTA-2.1BT 100W Class D 2.1 Amplifier with Bluetooth and Power Supply $88.75
  
• SMSL SA50 50Wx2 TDA7492 Class D Amplifier + Power Adapter $66
  
• BT20A Bluetooth 4.2 Stereo Audio 2 Channel Amplifier Receiver Mini Hi-Fi Class D $76.98
  
• Lepy LP-2020A Hi-Fi Digital Amplifier $24.39
  
• SMSL AD18HiFi Audio Stereo Amplifier with Bluetooth 4.2 Supports Apt-X, USB DSP Full Digital Power Amplifier 2.1 $130.49
  
  So if I'm planning on sync devices via the echo I don't technically need Bluetooth receiver in my amp, right? What about if I have a Bluetooth in my motherboard? I'm not sure if there's a difference between devices like keyboards and audio devices with Bluetooth.

HELP! So i bought this amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQC7GNL/ref=emc_b_5_i

arrives tomorrow for this bass shaker i bought:

https://www.amazon.com/Buttkicker-BK-GR2-ButtKicker-BK-GR-Gamer/dp/B000AOTLP6

but the amp tech support says it may not work because of some active or passive thing the shaker needs that the amp may not have. can anyone tell me for sure before i open the package tomorrow?

How is that going to save space?

Powered floor standing speakers are not really a market. Get some regular towers and strap on a small amplifier to the back like this one

https://www.amazon.com/BT20A-Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Integrated/dp/B07BQC7GNL/ref=pd_cp_23_3?pd_rd_w=Ty5cU&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=BTGMQ0ZJNP087EY4X9VX&pd_rd_r=6071610d-acf2-44c3-8972-f15fee846c73&pd_rd_wg=Q3lzo&pd_rd_i=B07BQC7GNL&refRID=BTGMQ0ZJNP087EY4X9VX&th=1

I'd go with Polk S55's in that range

Awesome! What does the wpc stand for?

How does this amp look to you?

I’m just using this cheap fossi class d amp

https://www.amazon.com/BT20A-Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Integrated/dp/B07BQC7GNL

It’s enough to drive the speakers which are 60 wpc - I’ve got pioneer bookshelves hooked up now but at their current location I don’t need them to be weather proof.
