You can't use this alone, you need a power amp or receiver. NO you can't! This is not a power amp.

It's just a basic, old fashioned, a non-powered speaker. Should be compliant with any amplifier you hook it up to.

Brian, these are self powered so you don't need an amp. You can hook them to a computer, an MP3 player, or whatever source you have, no need for anything else. The amp is in the left speaker and you need to run a speaker wire to the right speaker and whala you have great tunes!

There's a small amplifier in one speaker cabinet, that powers both. Not much of an amp though

Hi Doug,The portable unit is fairly self-contained. You'd probably need some kind of pre-amp.

This item is not an amplifier. If you need to use speakers, need one amplif.

These are powered speakers. They have their own amp built in. You can use any sound source with them.

This needs to be plugged in to an amplifier. It does not have an amplifier built in.

You need some kind of amp to push the speaker. A sound bar has a powered internal amp.

I answered 'yes' by mistake - it is not necessary, so there is no confusion. The speakers are self powered, you simply need to plug them in from the speaker with the power cord to a 110 outlet.

Hello there this is a pasive speakers. Not power supply need it. The more important think is rhe maximun power level of your amplifier. I use for surround and the performance is great. Regards from Spain.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

The speaker has an amplifier (so it has own power/volume nob). It comes with a 120V AC to 12V DC switching power adapter that needs to be plugged into the back of the right speaker. An audio jack (stereo) also needs to be plugged into your computer.

not required. I can play directly to the amp or use a preamp if I need more volume. It won't be as loud without a preamp but it works fine if all you need is a little boost.

You either need to use self powered speakers or plug into a receiver with speakers, which will provide the needed power for the speakers.
