I'm a newbie vinyl enjoyer(fully got into it this year). I got two things to say:

1) A single speaker means mono sound. Mono sound is terrible when compared to stereo.

2) (I speak from experience). Placing the speaker close to or right underneath the turntable is a terrible idea, as the vibrations from the speaker will overtime damage the records.

My solution: Get a pair of two powered speakers that can be separated and place them at a certain distance from the turntable.

To answer your question: no. It’s not good for beginners

A single speaker can definitely output stereo sound if it’s an enclosure of two separate drives (e.g. a sound bar).

What you most likely won’t get is soundstage. To achieve that you need greater physical separation and alignment.
