You just need a average recever..i use onkyo 7.2 thx certified network recever, Two sony subwoofers, jbl.threeway front left and right book shelf speakers, sony 5 disk changer, and polk audio TL150 speaker 5 pack..my system rocks baby! I spent maybe$700.00.. Bobby satified custmer.

I am not an audiophile. I did the search based on others reviews and price and my boyfriend did the install. We just have the pioneer vsx-1023 receiver and a polk audio subwoofer. Plenty of sound for the greatroom its in!! We also had to get j-box mounts for the speakers but other than wishing they could be a little bit smaller, they do a fantastic job and keep the sound focused in that area.

No. This is a preamp level device, you need an amplifier for connection to speakers.

Nope. External amps or powered speakers are required. ..as is the willingness to work with unreliable gear.

No. I have it set up without one. I have my speakers plugged directly into it, and a bluetooth receiver plugged into it as well. With this set up, I transmit from my iphone/ipad via bluetooth and get very nice sound without a separate amp.

No. It is strictly an amplifier unit that requires another source, like an MP3 player.

No amp is needed, but I have mine hooked up to an amp just to give them that little extra kick.

Yes, it needs a connection, but it is supplied through a coax connection which makes it fairly straightforward. Connect cable to transformer, connect cable to amplifier and done.

No an amp isn't necessary. But without one you won't be as satisfied. I really like these speakers but after i have them the power they craved I feel in love. Plus they look amazing!

No, the price des not include an amplifier, that is a separate purchase.There are many good amps. Just make sure it is compatible with the speaker system

No. This is a poor pre-amp gain is not enough to drive the amplifiers I have. Lots of noise. Would not recommend.

It depends. Do you plan to just connect speakers to this unit? If so, you only need the connect amp. If you're hooking it up to a stereo, surroundsound system, or another type of amplifier, you only need the connect. You probably don't need both.

No......it needs a amp to power it. Such as a surround sound receiver or stereo system.

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.

You will need an amplifier. If you don't already have one, you should probably consider a sound bar with a built-in amp

You don't need an amp per say. But you will need speakers/studio monitors or anything you can use as a speaker. I am using an amp as a speaker b/c I already had an amp I wasn't using. There are no external speakers so without a speaker you will only be able to hear the kit through headphones.

Yes it does. No A/V receiver Amp is required. That is the whole idea of this.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.
