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,

I picked up a few class d amps. 59. at the time. BT, 1/4", RCA in. Banana and binding post out. 3 years ago. Work really well. Mine were 2.1 amps.

Palm size amp has some punch.

Some speaker cable and a wall plug.

DAC too..

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...
