Then choose your quality level with a corresponding budget:

Lowest entry level mini amp and speakers: $50 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair and Hi-Fi Mini Amplifier Bundle.

A step up mini amp and speakers: $120 SMSL SA-36A $52 with Dayton Audio B652-AIR 6-1/2" with AMT Tweeter speakers $52 with Speaker Wire and wire tool.

Receiver and better speakers: Around $300 to $400. Look for similar used for the best value.

Receiver: Refurbished with a 1 year manufacturer warranty.

Stereo: ONKYO TX-8220 $135, or ONKYO TX-8140 $200.

Or AV: For use with a TV even with just 2 speakers, 4K HDMI switching, high pass crossover for your speakers if ever adding a subwoofer.

Yes, you'll need a receiver. Or else look at powered monitors (though you'll likely need a DAC as well).

As for what receiver, if in America, this is a one of the cheapest receivers that'll do what you want.

All your devices go into the receiver via HDMI.

The HDMI the tv connected to has ARC (Audio Return Channel), so any audio from smart apps will play.

Speaker wire is cheap: Here is 50ft of 16 gauge oxygen free speaker wire for <$15. If you don't have a stripping tool, you can use scissors to strip the wire.

You'd need stands (or at least something to put them on). Ideally, the tweeters (small speaker up top) should be level with your ears. I got stands off Craigslist for $25, I think they start at $60 new. Take note a bunch of speakers stands have the a built-in angle to them, so have that in mind in figuring out what height you'll need.

> I want to keep my speakers fairly close to my TV.

The rule of thumb is the front speakers should be spread apart no less than 1/2 your viewing distance and no more than 1:1. So, since you sit 8ft max, the speakers should be spread out 4ft to 8ft.

Yes. Don't buy the Mackies, they are neither good studio monitors nor good value. Instead, some Micca MB42Xs and a small amplifier such as the SMSL SA-36A would be far better in performance and fidelity to the input. Also some good 100% copper speaker wire is a good idea to use for a low resistance connection between the amplifier and speakers. Then all you need to hook up is a source via two RCA, which can be through a 3.5mm to RCA splitter if your preferred audio source's output is a 3.5mm jack.
