Cellular phone and speakers?


Hi Chaps,
I have a pair of unused Vienna Acoustics bookshelf speakers in a small library and would like to know if it is possible to connect them directly to an iphone 8 just to listen to background music. Room is full of books, papers, magazines, etc, there is not even space for a small integrated/CD player combo.

I know nothing about cell phones and digital audio, my main system is analog.

Thanks much.

Cheers,

You need a small amp of some sort and using one with Bluetooth built in or get a Bluetooth adapter to stream from you iPhone to the amp, which then powers your speakers. The iPhone does not have enough power to drive those speakers, so you have to find the room to fit an amp of some kind.  I use an old iPad stream to an old NAD receiver in my work shop. It’s fine for background music, you can check out the PS Audio amp “Sprout” to get the idea and you might find it small enough to fit someplace . I do not own one, just giving you the concept.
