Could I hook up a turntable to a powered speaker system?

best speaker system for turntable image

brave_ulys

I have a new, Sony PS-LX250H turntable and was wondering if I could hook it up to a powered speaker system (like a home theater system). The turntable only has the two RCA outputs (red and white), and the speaker system has inputs two RCA inputs on the back, as well as a volume knob. I'm just wondering if I can forgo purchasing a receiver or not.

Answer

Say if I where to by the B&W 800 Diamond what would I need. I know that you need;
Amps (Very High Quality)
Processor
Cables

But would you need an Pre Amp and why is it essential if I want the best speaker system. Also how would you set it up.

Answer
Would you want to purchase a very expensive sports car and then use the cheap gas on it and dive it at no more than 65 mph. If you want to listening to high quality speakers then you need high quality power amplifier to drive them, you also need a pre amp to connect your high end CD player or turntable. Go to a high end retail store and look. For a high end system like the 800, CD player, power amplifier and a pre amplifier you would be looking at around $ 30,000. Hope this will help you out.
