Are these active speakers?

No deva, the require an amplifier. Most come in the form of a reciever, which has an amplifier in it, and connects all the different components in a home theatre set up through one box (tv, xbox, cable box).

No they're passive - no onboard amplification, so you'll need a receiver or pre/power amp combo to drive them. The BIC Acoustech's are very efficient and need maybe only 10 watts per channel to power them.

Yes, they are!They are passive (don´t need battery) and I'm pretty happy with them.

They claimed to be active. However, the one I received was passive. Be leary of who you purchase these from. Seems many people are trying to pass off passive adapters as active ones.

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.

No, the speaker is not amplified. They are designed for use in a home entertaiment surround sound system.

The speakers are powered. All you need is an audio source. Computer, TV, MP3 player, etc.

No. These are passive speakers - you can't plug anything directly into them.

They are passive speakers, which means that they are unpowered and you need an external AMP/AV receiver to power them.

These are passive not active which means you will need some type of amplifier. Somthing like this will do: Pyle Home PCA3 150-Watt Stereo Mini Power AmplifierHowever, you best bet is to get some type of active speaker system like this:Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System with SubwooferMichael

Sorry, not sure what you mean. They are just ordinary speakers, which we use for one of our small TV's. They are OK for the price.

I can't recall what the documentation says but they definitely appear to be. It may be worth am email to Klipsch if you need a definitive answer though.

They are not "powered" speakers -- they must be connected via speaker wire to an amp. Put another way, they do not have their own power cord to plug into an electrical socket.

No they are not. ..I have marine speakers and these are not at all close. I would not use them in a marine environment or an open Jeep type vehicle

Negative. They are passive speakers, and require additional amplification. The mixer Board most likely (some specialty ones might be able to) does not have enough juice to power speakers.

These are not powered speakers. They are standard speakers with input for speaker wires coming from the stereo amp/ tuner/receiver at whatever voltage that runs on. I hope that helps.
