I have a smart tv with audio output, my question is not necessary get a amplifier to use this speaker?

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.

I have not used an amplifier for these speaker. I use them attached to my computer and am extremely satisfied with their sound. Their is a built in amp on one of the speakers.

You can connect The rca output of your Tv to the input on the amplifier and then wire the output to the speakers. You need then to control the output on the TV menu to use this channel.

The amplifier is contained in the sub woofer unit. You do not need any thing else to connect this to your TV. (You can also connect blue tooth devices and use a cable with mini stereo jacks or even RCA plugs.)

You really just need a tv that has speakers and an HDMI cable to connect it. I have a set of surround sound speakers that make everything sound better, but half the time they are turned off. So no, you don't NEED speakers.

Unless you have an unusual TV, I would say no. You would need a regular 4 ohm output from the TV. Mine is substituted for the center speaker that came with our surround sound system. Much clearer sound.

No ,you need an amplifier or a audio receiver to use these speakers cause they are pasive not active.

If there isn't't an audio output, you will have to splice into your speaker wires. With out seeing what you have, I feel inadequate to answer this. Back in the day some of us did this. Be careful to not turn up the volume to much. remember watts per channel. You may have to do a little research.

No amp needed, the sub powers the speakers. However, I would recommend the Logitech z506 instead. I have both and I regret purchasing the acoustic audio speakers. Logitechs are better sounding, louder, more durable, and easier to set up.

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiverSo--yes, you do... unless...Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

Cut the plug in off and wire it up to one of your speakers... No amp needed

Hi Ann Maxwell,No, you need an amplifier or a receiver to output audio. Thanks. >Joffrey

If the TV has audio out, you can connect it to this amplifier which in turn can drive a set of speakers, controlled by the volume control on this amplifier. It might take some additional cabling to match the audio out on the TV to the audio on this amplifier. I had to convert the two RCA jacks to a 9mm jack so I could use an iPad a the music source.

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

It doesn't require an amplifier. There are 3 HDMI's, 2 digital component inputs, 1 AV input and 1 USB on the back.

You will need a pole to mount it on and cable to connect it to your TV. The pole I got is this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WOVD1Y/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01 I would try it without an amplifier. Unless your signal is really weak you shouldn't need one.

Unless your TV has a "speaker out" feature (very doubtful), you need an amplifier between your TV and the speakers. Either your TV or your DVR or DVD player or Blu-Ray player will have left and right audio output jacks. Connect these to the input on the amplifier, then connect the speakers to the speaker connections on the amplifier. These days most amplifiers are Fm Tuner/Amps. That will work. By connecting the amplifier to the audio output of the TV, you will have sound from whatever you run through your TV -- the TV's own tuner or a DVD or Blu-Ray player or DVR.

I don't want to say for sure, since I have not tried or needed to try this, but there is a settings option "HDMI Audio to TV" with on/off which I assume can bypass the amp and allow the tv speakers to play for certain devices. Might even be able to set this up per source (have not verified).
