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,

Thanks chaps, I got the picture, I now have more than enough info to start my project.
Cheers,
Why not just buy a bluetooth speaker for the Iphone? Good enough for background music and cheaper (& easier) than the alternatives presented
^^^ +1..You basically have 2 choices.A small Integrated Amplifier/DAC like PS Audio Sprout II or similar from several manufacturers or ditch the Vienna Acoustics & go with an all in 1 Bluetooth speaker from 1 of any number of reputable makers like Dynaudio or Dali..My inclination would be Bluetooth,eliminating external electronics & several cables...
