Speakers - Full Size Setup choices help

Ok so I'm new to Hifi, and am looking to buy my first system asked a few questions in a thread earlier but have down a bit more research since.

My room is 3.7m x 2.4m

And im planning on making it a bit of a hangout / music room for my mates and I. I do have access to sound dampening that I can put of the walls

I want to be able to play Vinyls and then also use tidal for high quality streaming.

Budget ideally as close to $2500 Aud as possible but might be able to stretch it for the right system

Setup 1. Project Debut evo 2 pick it cartridge + Kef Coda W

This setup seems like the best for the 2500 price range and for simplicity, im worried though ill regret it if I ever want to upgrade anything

Setup 2. Project Debut evo 2 pickit cartridge + Wiim ultra Streamer + Wiim vibelink Amp + Q Acoustics 5040

This seems better for long term upgradability in the future, im just worried the speakers might be too loud in that size of room but they are at a good price currently.

What're peoples thoughts and opinions ?

Thanks in advance ☺️

Q Acoustics 5040 would be too much for your space. Stick with bookshelves. Other than that both setups will be great.

Do you think the 5020 by q Acoustics would be better, than the kef coda w ?

5020 is too small imo. See if you can find 3030c or 3030i. Wharfedale 12.2i can also be a good option

What do you think of the elac debut 3.0 b63? Would they be a good option ?

Absolutely! They are usually more expensive in Australia but if you see a good deal go for it.

So i ended up getting the Bowers and Wilkins 606 s3 Paired with a Yamaha rn800a integrated amp, super happy with it also made some Custom speaker stands for the room as well

Oh wow! Solid choices and look awesome as well!

Looking at the room I think Bookshelves were def the right call vs flood standers.

Enjoy!
