Question about a set up


Hi,
As I have little knowledge around this topic I would like to ask a question and  seek advice.

The system that I am about to buy is made out of these 3 components: 

-Onkyo TX-NR 6050 receiver
-KEF - Q Series 6.5" 2-way Bookshelf speakers (pair)
-Audio Technica ATLP60 XBT Bluetooth stereo turn table


1) the receiver model and brand I wrote would work fine with those speakers?

2) the turntable would also run with the receiver I hope. is this fine ?

 

3) what kind of subwoofer would you recommend that works well with this receiver and speakers?   

I checked the nearby stores where I live and these are the available products it seems I can choose from that fits my budget:

Polk Audio PSW108 10" Powered Subwoofer
Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer, 100W

Polk Audio - React 7" Wireless Subwoofer

Klipsch - Reference Series 10" 150W


Thank you all for your recommendation
Cheers

Thank you @soix and  @curiousjim 

1)Ok. you did not like the onkyo I mentioned.no problem.  I can easily access any of the following 4 receivers from Best Buy as it is convenient to my home. are any of these better than the Onkyo i wrote ?  (I am trying to stay at or below $600 budget) 
1)Denon - AVR-S960H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel (90 Watt X 7) AV Receiver
2)Denon - AVR-S570BT 70W 5 Ch Bluetooth Capable HDR Compatible 8K Ultra HD AV Home Theater Receiver
3)
Yamaha - RX-V4A 5.2-channel AV Receiver with 8K HDMI and MusicCast
4) Yamaha - 5.1-Ch. 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver

I will save you time and here is the link to compare the features:

2) I went to the link you sent about the speakers. i am located in S.Florida and we have best buy and brandsmart easily accessible.  Could you recommend me something where I stay at or below $600 for a pair of speakers if KEF is not suitable? I am sending you a link which might save time for all the available options I have:

3) about the turntable:  i care less about the Bluetooth feature. Moreover , not worth to sacrifice when it comes to sound qualify as you mentioned. Would you please review this link and come up with an alternative then ?

Thank you much for all your advise !

 

 

Thank you guys so much !  Amazing help. 

- I placed already a new order for the turntable as you recommended and I no longer am going with the one that you guys did not suggest. Thanks. 

- @mesch  :  I have no option but buying an AVR. And after reading above comments i totally changed my mind about getting the onkyo, and will go with the Yamaha.  I just need to decide which one between the 2 options. 
 

Lastly, would you please give me some cable/ wire recommendation?  to connect the TT  and speakers to the AVR what brand cables would be suitable?  Sorry for all these questions, and thank you very much for all the help you guys have given. 

 

@mesch  I ended up sticking w/ the KEF's.  I want / wanted to "listen" to something before I invest money into some speakers, and unfortunately BB carries (in my price range) only a few brands...Out of all , the KEF's made the most sense.  Tomorrow i will pick up the Yamaha AVR, KEF's and the other TT that you guys suggested.  

Also, thank you for the cable recommendations too. Once all is set , i will perhaps take a picture and share my opinion w/ the final outcome :-)
