Do I need to buy a separate amplifier or can I connect these speakers directly to my SONY HD TV?

Well! it may put out audio with in the tv's range & that may suit you just fine. Now ! on the other hand I got the speaker's to add to a Sony surroud system & they drowned out the rest of the speakers also the impedance was not correct. I had to get things in balance now my all Yamaha 7.2 system pushed with Yamaha Reciver the Rx-V676 .The house trembles & that works for me. Pleas note I did this a pair at a time as there are no package deals in the mid range speaker's , seems the stores sell top & bottom stuff around me...have fun what ever way you go.

You can't. They are not powered speakers. You will need a separate amplifier

You will need a seperate amplifier. This boosts the signal depending on how you set the channel outputs, but it is not made to power speakers by itself.

I can get you an amplifier for those speakers. I'll be happy to help you if you want me to. Email me back and we'll talk directly (not through the amazon web site) Thanks

No, you need a separate 5.1 Channel amplifier. This is not a "Home Theater in a Box". You need something like "Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver" - which will provide enough power to the speakers (as mentioned for this model, 10-120W / channel). Hope this helps.

You will need to run the speakers using an external amplifier. I use an AudioSource Amp 100 and it sounds good.

Sorry to ask such a dumb question but can I run these speakers directly off of a sony blue ray player or is an audio amp in the middle required?

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

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.)

That's how I use mine. (FYI - with an older HDTV set - since the output is external - you might not be able to control the volume of the sound without adjusting the amp's control. That is a bit of a pain.)

Thanks very much for your question. This incredible amp has no HDMI connection. It will sound incredible with your marvelous speakers.

You can only hook-up a optical connection to a amplifier with such input. Or you can buy a soundbar, but not directly to speakers. any more questions you can reach me a Central TV Inc. >> 330-395-4935 >> gncalugar@gmail.com I hope this info helps, George

Yes that shouldn't be a problem, because the speakers plug into an audio input outlet. I would check my tv first to ensure it had one before purchasing the speakers, but most newer models have it.

The connections are USB and a small green plug like you'd see with computer speakers, so I don't see how. Even if you could rig something up, I wouldn't recommend it. The speakers that come with the TVs today are already far superior to the sound quality produced by this product. Good luck.

Not really required but a good amplifier will help deliver the most from these speakers. The amp will provide clarity to each channel and define the sound quality, best answer... Use an amp for the best quality sound from these capable speakers.

I agree with Damon--you can't just plug these into your tv, you will need a separate receiver. If you are simply looking to increase the volume, search Amazon for a "sound bar" which you can hook up directly to your tv. My grandfather is hard of hearing, and the sound bar works well for him.

No. They require an amplified signal. The output from a tv is unpowered. You can however, run the output from your tv into an amplifier input, that has matching output wattage to the speakers you want to use.
