I'm on a tight budget but I want to get some decent sound. One solution is edifier r1600t for £50. I have been trying to look second hand but haven't found anything worth buying.

I have however come across decent bookshelf speakers but would need something to power them. I have found some cheap pairs of denon and Technics I can pick up but I'm not sure what to power them with. I don't want to buy a full size receiver as it will take up too much space.

I have seen many post pushing small amps for high end headphones. I'm wondering if something like that would work for a pair of bookshelf speakers.
would something like an MUSE i15w or Lepai TA2020+ work, and would it sound better than something like the edifier r1600t as they are pretty close in price.

The Lepai should work depending on the speakers. Which ones did you find?
 
I can find lots of speakers second hand. If the Lepai TA2020+ is the best T-amp under £30 (i can get it for £15 delivered) it leaves a lot of choices in terms of speakers. I'm really not sure what I can do with a t-amp. I have only had logitech speakers and a full sizes receiver with tower speakers before.

the Black MUSE M50 is the most expensive I would go for the t-amp.

I have many choices for pick up in London:
Denon SC-M50 for £35
Technics Sb-HD81 for £22
Technics Sb-CH510A. for £10
Sony SS-E30 for £25
TEAC LS-X8 MK2 £30

I'm trying to find more information about budget mini t-amps that are available in the UK. I've been reading more about the Lepai TA2020. I sounds good at first but it seems it is advised to replace the power supply. If that is the case it may be better to buy something that is a bit more but doesn't need upgrades. Also trying to figure out what to look for in a bookshelf speaker.
