Reddit mentions of Lepai LP7498EA 200W Class D Digital Amplifier with Bluetooth (Black/Silver)

Absolutely no point in spending $200 on a receiver to pair with a $100 turntable and $90 speakers. Buy a cheap T or D class mini amp and be done with it. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Lepai-LP7498EA-200W-Digital-Amplifier-Bluetooth/dp/B00FJWKZP4

Well, I might've found you something with Bluetooth that isn't too bad: http://amzn.com/B00FJWKZP4

Otherwise, I would say look into NAD C 316BEE (no I don't work for NAD, they just make great stuff for the money). It's a bit above your budget, but close to it.

All mini amplifiers with a given power rating will perform just about identically.

So it's mostly a matter of which convenience features (multiple inputs? digital inputs? remote control?) you want and how much power you want.

In a dorm room, with those speakers you could probably get by with the tiniest of $20 Lepai/Lepy amps, especially if you just want some polite listening levels and aren't trying to rock a party

I always recommend this as kind of a minimum: https://www.amazon.com/SMSL-50Wx2-TDA7492-Amplifier-Adapter/dp/B00F0H8TOC

That gets you into some party speaker territory for $65. There are an assload of mini amps with similar power output. Some are a little cheaper, and some are more expensive and add various inputs and remote controls and such. They will generally perform more or less identically when it comes to sound.

For just a little more money something like this or this one will give you even more power. With their volume cranked high enough they will actually put out more power than the Daytons can handle. So, don't do that.

Sure.

I hate to be the debbie-downer, but a big part of the Bose sound is some very clever wizardry inside the box that no longer works --

They build their tiny speakers optimized for A) power handling, and B) minimal distortion, and usually end up with something that has quite odd frequency response.

Then they measure the transfer function of their little screech-box, and have their engineers build signal-processing to apply the inverse of the transfer function just before the amplifier stage in the central brain.

Along with some clever use of multiband compression using psychoacoustic tricks so that we hear impressive bass even though the actual electrical bass power to the speaker is limited, the end result is a speaker that measures and sounds like it has flat frequency response between say 50Hz and 18kHz, but only if the special brain is in the circuit in front of it.

r/audio has lots of people suggesting various low-cost "class-d" amplifiers, so if you want to try this anyway with something inexpensive you could get a bluetooth class-d or class-d amp with line-in and a cable to connect your phone to it -- just connect the stripped wires of the two leftish speakers to the "left" black and red "speaker" terminals and likewise with those on the right.

They look like speaker binding posts, one pair for each of two speakers. Example. This means that the device you buy for it has to provide power to the speakers for them to work. You would need something like this bluetooth amplifier. If you browse through the images, you can see that the amplifier has 4 binding posts as well to connect to the 4 in the wall.


You'll need two pairs for speaker wires to connect. Example

A dongle is the answer. The only amp with it built in is a bit pricey and has meh reviews. So Micca X's, if she can afford a bigger amp than the lepai like the Muse or Topping they perform a bit better than the lepai and this dongle

For around there you'd be better off with a big 2.0 system, in my opinion.
Something like 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000EHUFLI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1381144297&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
And then one of these
