Hey all! I just secured a set of open box ELAC debut 5.2s for a $150 + shipping, which i understand to be a very good deal, but im having trouble tracking down the most affordable/efficient way to drive them -- also considering incorporating a turn table down the line. any thoughts??

I'd like to stay around or under $200, so i'm happy to be patient and dig through thrifts/wait for ebay and marketplace notifications. I'm mostly just looking for a solid starting point. What should i look out for? Should I get an external phono preamp, would that be friendlier to my proposed budget?

Any advice, recs welcomed for the most part, plz be kind lmao.
