The entire purpose of listening to music in vinyl format is to enjoy the warm sonic tone and accuracy of the recording as it was intended to be heard, without the compromises made for digital versions.
Speakers are crucial. Your turntable is the mechanism that interprets the record, but speakers are the means by which you’ll hear it. It’s important to invest in speakers that properly balance every frequency so you get the most out of the experience.
Listening to vinyl usually means you intend to listen to the whole album from front to back. This is one of the reasons it’s so great. It also means that you won’t want to be annoyed by unbalanced frequencies, like too much bass that overwhelms the other instruments or high frequencies that feel like hearing nails on a chalkboard after a few songs.
