This fact will depend on your reciever. The way that most recievers works is that they have a built in amp for speakers. Look up the model of your reciever and what you are looking for is a wattage rating. This will tell you how much output your reciever puts out to the speakers. It will show something like 700 watts or (50x4)watts. These two ratings show total wattage and wattage per speaker channel. If you can only find total wattage you can take it and divide by the number of speaker channels to find out how much wattage goes to each speaker. As long as the amount of wattage does not from the reciever doesn't exceed the max wattage of the speaker you will not blow the speaker.

"Receiver" is the common term for 3 components in one box:AM/FM tunerPreamplifierPower amplifierSo yes you have a power amplifier to drive these speakers.Recommendation: 10 watts will drive these speakers, but I recommend more power. More is better. The objective is NOT volume, but reserve power if called for. With multiple speakers in a single enclosure, the woofer will use about 50 percent of available power.

doubtful that you'll need an amp unless your receiver is literally a POS. I would suggest you buy a higher grade speaker wire (I have 16 gauge on mine) and that you bi-wire them as well.

No amplifier needed for just one TV. If you hook up more than one TV, then yes you would need an amplifier.

They require a AV -Receiver or a separate power Amp. I used these for rear surrounds for years and they were the bang for the buck for sure. Good sound too!

The price is for 1 speaker or each speaker. They are well worth it and sound great on tube amps over 10 watts RMS. My tube amp is 18 watts RMS and sound excellent.

These speakers require a seperate amplifier to function. This can be anything from a $5000 surround sound amp down to a simple stereo amplifier. I'm using this one with mine: Pyle - Mini 2x75W Stereo Power Amplifier - PCA3. It comes at a very reasonable price (on Amazon)It's more than adequate for a pair of these speakers and produces some great sound. If you can run a stereo signal from your TV to the amplifier (RCA cables) this setup could work for you.My setup is much more elaborate than a cable from the TV to the amp, but either should work.

You need to buy a speaker system. You will not need an amplifier if you get a powered speaker.

yes, you will need a receiver or an amp to power the two speakers. the sub has an amp built in.

I bought these speakers some time ago - the price is for 1 speaker. Hey, at the price Amazon is asking, if you have to purchase 2 separately it's worth it. I used mine on a rebuild of an old set of Pioneer cabinets and they sound great. Hope this helps.

Hi Ben, believe it or not, you don't even need a receiver for these speakers because they have on-board amp and EQ. This means you don't need the "middle man". You can go directly from your music source to the speaker, or you can go from your music source, to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers. These are active speakers, which means they do not need a powered channel, all they need is the audio signal and the speakers do the rest. These speakers make an absolutely badass home-theater setup. I have a pair of XLR-to-RCA speaker cords and I just plug the RCA end into the red/white(L/R) output channels on my Blu-ray, plug the XLR into my mixer, then run a cord to each speaker and press play. If your receiver has a set of RCA outputs, I don't see why you couldn't use these in place of normal satellite speakers. Awesome sound quality, AMAZING volume and bass. Hell, sometimes I even plug my mp3 player directly into the speaker using a 1/8"-to-1/4" converter plug and crank it up. All I need is music, and a power outlet and I'm set. Honestly, I have replaced every speaker I've ever had with just one set of these JBL's. I use them for everything(Home theater, music listening, studio monitors, amplifying musical instruments, mobile dj-ing, etc..). Just buy them man, you'll be happy :)

I got a pair of speakers in one box when I ordered mine, sound is pretty darn good too for the price. Hope this helps.

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

It's a full set of speakers - you don't need anything else, unless you plan on mounting some of the speakers on a wall, in that case, you might need mounts. The smaller speakers come with a little hole in the back, so you could just hang from a nail or screw.You do need an amp / receiver. I bought the matching Onkyo one. I used the wires that came with it, and it sounds fine to me. I'm not an audiophile. ;-)

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

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.

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.

The price is for one speaker. God ahead and buy a pair of them. Spending this kind of money on a set of speakers will be the best money you have ever spent on speakers!! So buy them and buy them from Amazon...You're be so glad you did!

You need speakers and amp. You can buy all in one unite which means your amp is part of your speakers. Remember the quality and sound depends on your speakers. The better the speaker the better you sound.
