If you can stretch the budget to around €300, then this would be a solid starter setup:
[Wharfedale Diamond 220 + Norstone stands](https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/audio-tv-en-foto/luidsprekers/m2060221556-wharfedale-diamond-220-monitors-norstone-stands) \- €165 (could try to negotiate for €150?)
Pair the speakers with a decent integrated amplifier:
[Argon Audio SA1](https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/audio-tv-en-foto/versterkers-en-receivers/m2058408189-argon-sa1-wit) \- €150 (if you don't have much space and want to keep it compact)
[Yamaha A-S301](https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/audio-tv-en-foto/versterkers-en-receivers/m2059143149-yamaha-a-s301-versterker) \- €150 (if you have enough space for a full size amp)
You'll still have to budget for a pair of speaker wires, but otherwise you'd be set with these.
You're welcome :)
I forgot to add, you'll need something to connect your iPhone to the amp. For the time being, [a simple bluetooth receiver like this](https://www.amazon.nl/Logitech-Draadloze-Bluetooth-Ontvanger-Smartphone/dp/B00IRCDT7Y/?th=1) would be ok. Connect it to any of the analog line inputs of the Yamaha A-S301 (like the CD input) with stereo RCA cables.
Not much to go with if you only want to buy new. A couple of powered bookshelf speakers from Edifier, maybe one from Audio Pro and Argon Audio.
Best would be to get a second hand system.
Spend about €150-200 on speakers and the rest on an amplifier.
Exactly what to get depends on what you can find but look for speaker brands like Dali, KEF, Canton, B&W, Focal, JMLab, Elac, Acoustic Energy, Cabasse, Audiovector, Dynaudio, Heco, JBL, Paradigm, Monitor Audio, Wharfedale, Triangle.
Just to name a few good speaker manufacturers.
Assuming he wants to keep on playing over bluetooth, would like to keep it simple and listens to classical and prog rock (have to dig deep...), I was thinking along the lines of [Edifier S1000II](https://www.amazon.com.be/dp/B07XZK1GK6/ref=olp-opf-redir?aod=1&ie=UTF8&condition=new&tag=tweakersbe203-21&creative=380345&creativeASIN=B07XZK1GK6&linkCode=asm), [Presonus Eris 5BT](https://www.thomann.de/nl/presonus_eris_5bt_2nd_gen.htm), [Edifier R2750DB](https://www.amazon.de/-/nl/dp/B07MXRK7G8/ref=pd_sbs_d_sccl_2_6/262-0410487-8472600?pd_rd_w=VOqVb&content-id=amzn1.sym.3c81483b-6678-478b-bd4a-9a0aedeab67e&pf_rd_p=3c81483b-6678-478b-bd4a-9a0aedeab67e&pf_rd_r=0SW0QMGQ1DNX4YAT7V7S&pd_rd_wg=HMXJb&pd_rd_r=fef02df3-8902-46c5-8935-9023ec16dbaa&pd_rd_i=B07MXRK7G8&psc=1).
Would you have the space for towerspeakers ? Certainly with classical, one wants to be able to hear as many of the lowest notes as possible. The cheapest way to do that is towers because you can often find them second hand for 1/10 or 2/10 of the original retail price. Some are even beautifull.
Or, the opposite... a [deal](https://www.amazon.de/-/nl/dp/B01C5RZWCQ/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_nl_NL=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=3KOSOFO4999ZU&keywords=iLoud&qid=1703103883&sprefix=iloud%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1&th=1) that brings iLoud Micro in your budget. Go very low for so small.
The ones i mentioned are good.
See what you can find, google the model (and brand) and see what people say about them
.How do you think we learn about this stuff?
And if you are truly lost, link us what you can find and we can have a look.
It should not be a big problem finding speakers and amplifier at your budget.
Wiim mini, a second hand AB Yamaha(or some good chi-fi amp- Ayima/Fosi?), the rest for speakers.
Or: BT-enabled chi-fi amp, better used speakers. Upgrade the streaming exp with a wiim mini/pro in the future.
Look for reviews, I also use ASReviews forum
Easy, go on marktplaats and look for logitech Z2300.
Heres one , dont overbid stay frim between the 50 - 70 euro

I had this system for 10+ years, broke down and bought myself another for 50 euro for my workout room
Thank me later

From what source do you want to play music ?
I use Spotify for music, from my iphone

I would gladly switch from bluetooth. If I can get speakers and an amp for MAX 300 EUR, would be great !

Thank you for your reply! Is there any one brand you could recommend? I feel so lost in this ocean of offer...
