Key features text of this speaker has
"High-quality phono preamplifier for direct connection of a record player with MM magnet system"
Do I need to get anything else to connect these to a turntable to get good sound?

I want speakers to separately connect a desktop PC as well as some synth stuff (midi keyboard + synthstrom deluge) - is there any reason I should consider powered/active monitors like this instead of using what I've got?
Which model turntable?

If it sounds good, not really. You could argue that the speakers you have now are likely produced to enjoy music, so they affect the sound more so than a studio monitor specifically made to hear what's there, but in actual practice you should be fine to mess around and play. Maybe adjust the eq settings to be flatter if you are actually producing songs, but if it's to mess around and practice and start off writing music etc, it's totally fine. It really has a lot to do with what you already have and your goals, but what you got will work. Good luck and play something!
Edit: Not to say this is a bad deal. Having studio monitors can be useful for different reasons, and these don't seem like they are bad. If it serves you to have both for switching back and forth, there's plenty of worse ways to spend money on your musical hobby or passion, but they won't offer another ability besides to hear your sounds through other monitors than the ones you have. If you didn't, I may suggest them more strongly. It's totally possible that the speakers and receiver are old but high quality, or complete trash worthy of replacing. Only you can decide.
