In 2018/19 it's never been easier to repurpose the bookshelf speakers you have lying around in your basement or attic. All you need is a small stereo power amp, usually under $300, and a bluetooth dongle. Better yet, Amazon now make products that connect directly to your speakers that can make your bookshelf speakers "smarter".
What to do
First inspect your old bookshelf speakers
and make sure they are in good shape. Plug them into your old receiver or amp an see if they still sound ok. If they do here are some products that will give them a whole new life.

Amazon Echo Input
This nifty little device hooks up to any small stereo amp you can get on Amazon and otherwise works just like any other echo. Ask it questions, play music, whatever an Echo can do, it can do. Though you do need your own amp, the Echo Input
is a simple solution.A side benefit, the Mini Home Audio and the BT20A seen below also have bluetooth connection.
If you're more of a Google guy or gal you can also with the Google Chromecast or simply use the bluetooth connection to one of the above listed amps. Either way you made use of those old speakers which most likely will blow away any bluetooth speaker
you currently have laying around your home.Just a reminder that we write, review and advise for beer money here at TSG. If you buy something from a link on this page we might get a bit of joy. Thanks for stopping by.
