Do I need an amp to set it up?

Yes, this is just a speaker package. You need an amp or A/V receiver to drive the speakers and sub.

what model/manufacture of AV receiver/amplifiers is recommended by KEF for T305 speakers?

This is an ideal arrangement for a "non-obtrusive" complete surround sound system. An A/V system is required (I use Denon to control ALL elements of the entertainment system (X-BOX, cable, BluRay). The speakers are not power hogs and anything over 75 watts per channel is sufficient. The sound is spectacular for the price.

The circuit wiring is too thin. Not enough power. You could set up a wiring system as if you were going to put in an amp. Just need thicker cables to power it. Just an idea. It would be best to usea deep cycle battery though

This system does require an amp/receiver. Mine is a 200W Yamaha. I use mine solely for rear surround.

As the guys answered before, you need an amp to properly power these speakers or you will be disappointed.

You need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

First of all, you do need a amp or receiver, and make sure that the equipment has a turntable jack for it, or you can't use it. Second, you do need a good speakers system. And good speakers wires too.

I don't know the amps needed, I use one of the "booster" 12v units to power it without any problems.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

You would need to own an amplifier and speakers. This is not a stand alone unit. It is a component for a component entertainment system.

My research indicated that you do need a preamp, so I bought one and everything works fine, but I'm no expert! You would need some sort of cable converter at least but I think you do need the preamp.

You need to buy an amp.. I purchased a 175 watt marine amp which does just fine.

You do not need an amp to run this one but you do for the other one, you can just buy this one and hook it to the other.

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.

Absolutely not. You'll need a receiver or a power amp of some sort. (And no, not an iPod.)

This is two transmitters and their receiver. They are made to plug into a sound system, so yes, you will need an amp and speakers.

Yes, you will need an amp. a 50 watt rms worked out well for me. It sounds great.
