Do you absolutely have to have an amp with these?

Yes. Like an idiot I thought they could work with my interface but it didn't have enough power to push the speakers.

I would say no, these babies have an increased capacity for sound but don't need the amplification. They can run well off an amplified source like turntables or a midi device, but are more than fine without. Best headphones i have ever purchased.

No, while an amp can enhance your experience some it isn't necessary. I bought an amp for that purpose but rarely bother with it.

You do not need an amp with these speakers. Any P.A. speakers that are labeled "Powered" or "Active" have an amp built in. I recently purchased a set of these and I am extremely happy with them. The do great for cocktail music, speeches, or for music in a small setting.

No. My husband used these to replace the speakers in his vehicle No amp needed.

these speakers are just speakers, and still need a amp/signal source. When i got these several years ago, it was part of an amazing Amazon offer that included a yamaha home theatre system, that still rocks today. You'll be happy with these speakers, but you need more stuff. :)

These speakers have no amp built in; they are just speakers. They also happen to be great speakers. You can connect them to a computer using a computer sound amplifier system or you can use a stereo receiver, but whatever you use must have connectors for plain speaker wire and can't be hard-wired to its own speakers. I use four of these TSi-100s connected to a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system, and I couldn't be happier.

You don't need a amp for these. And I have no idea what to recommend if you want one.

The only reason you would need an amp is if your original source is limited. Otherwise don't bother. But if you really feel the need here is one source discussion I found. http://www.head-fi.org/t/635772/need-help-should-i-get-a-headphone-amp-with-v-moda-m-100

No. They require an amp and normal speaker wires. For best results you will also want a subwoofer.

They don't have a built in amplifier.You will need an amp or receiver to power these speakers.They are very good performers for the price.

Yes, the head unit will push them and they will sound decent, but you won't be able harness their full potential without an amp.

No amp needed. Plug right in to iPhone, iPad, or iPod, whatever... These are seriously fine, better than Beats, etc...

Yes! Granted, they need to be powered by something, but you can just use a auxiliary cable to play audio through the speakers

Ye you need an amp, they are not powered speakers. They are passive speakers as indicated by the "P" in "B2030P" which means you need an amp to power them.

Only if your deck has enough power to push them, but it also depends on if you have a sub woofer too. If you're just listening to classical music with no sub, these will work just fine without an amp. But if you have a lot of bass coming from your sub, you will probably want an amp to push these. I put on an amp to these and I have s sub. You want the input (deck power) to match the output (speakers) power as closely as possible for the best sound. It's better to have more input cuz you will never blow them cuz it'll be too loud lolHope this helps.

You would absolutely need an amp. These are home theater floor model speakers and not small computer speakers. They are loud when they are hooked up to a loud amp.
