Good evening, I have a turntable and I have some old b&o beovox rl60.2 speakers, and I want to use these with my record player, as the speakers are passive and I just want to try them out would a Fosi audio bt20/bt20 pro be enough to try these speakers out, as well I would need to the correct wires from the amp to the speakers?

Many thanks Dan.

What turntable?
Think the Beovox speakers only take bare wire at the speakers end. So you're going to need cable with banana plugs at one end and bare wire at the other.
Why would you need a Bluetooth amplifier??

Is your turntable also B&O , could be fitted with Din connections & cartridge will need replacing
Beovox RL 60 / RL 60.2 40years old , Surrounds will need re-foaming & decent amp required to drive them

Thank you, the turn table is only an audio technical lp60usb, I understand im not working with the best equipment. That’s correct there is already banana plugs on one end and the other leads to a DIN, I was recommended that amp by a friend that’s why I mentioned it just as it was cheap to see if they could run

Never seen a USB turntable would assume Din/Usb outputs
BO speakers use 2 pin DIN plug you would need converters / adapators
RL60 normally supplied with 7000 system & good ones fetch £6000+ these days ( without speakers )
B&O keeps its value for decades , Fosi / AT like most low cost chinese stuff is almost worthless on the 2nd hand market

Oooo yeah that’s not happening 😂, the turntable does have the usual rca outputs so I assumed I could plug the turn table into the amp and then that would power the speakers…?

The speakers appear to be bare wire connection not DIN, check images online.
OP will need to confirm.
His turntable does have an inbuilt phono preamp so the Fosi amp could be used

Speakers have DIN inputs ( from memory ) Dad had a set & not seen one in decades
They might also have a set of bare wire connectors
4ohm load so a £99 Fosi could struggle to drive them

The wires that I have with the speakers are DIN on one end and then bare on the other side, however I need amp to power these as I don’t have one at the moment and wondered if the amp I mentioned would be able to power them to test them out then I would upgrade the amp

The amp will work if you confirm the type of connection you have on your speaker.
Can you photograph the back of them?
Don't know why you want a Bluetooth amplifier though.
You have to make sure the switch on the back of your turntable is set to Line.

Sorry, so if I was to buy an amp. What speakers would go from the speakers into the amp. And therefore not needing the din wire anymore

If all you want to do is test, this little amp will be fine.
Single input takes the line output from your turntable.
Similar bare wire terminal output - so bare wire is all you need to connect to your speakers.
As a bonus, you might be surprised how good this sounds:
LEPY LP-2020A Amplifier https://amzn.eu/d/70IvLuy
Something wrong with the link 🤔
Search 'Lepy 2020a' on Amazon.

Agree, Lepy only has half the output of the Fosi but should be ample driving these speakers.
