Does the speakers require external amps or are they self powered?

They require your head unit to provide the power, or to have an external amp.

Receiver powered. No external power required. I'm using them for rear surround speakers and they do an awesome job !

yes, the speakers are powered by a separate cord from the amplifier box to the power source. They are used by my wife in her sewig room and she likes them very much.

There is no internal power amp. The pre-amps are very good but you need a power amp for passive speakers. I am using 4 Mackie active speakers and they work great with this board.

You need an external amp to power any passive speakers. Main outputs of the mixer is +22dBu.

They need to be wired in to an amplifier- no `active power- excellent speakers

Brian, these are self powered so you don't need an amp. You can hook them to a computer, an MP3 player, or whatever source you have, no need for anything else. The amp is in the left speaker and you need to run a speaker wire to the right speaker and whala you have great tunes!

These speakers are not powered speakers. They connect using speaker wire to a receiver or amplifier. I have a pair of these connected to an inexpensive tripath amp and the amp takes the aux connector from a laptop or smartphone.

We have two of them and no you do not need an external power amp to run the speakers or monitors, this unit will work fine.

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

Most people say around 300 watts each, I went with 600 watts each and positively love them. The wattage is needed to get the mids and woofers to work properly. If you power them right and run them full range a sub is really not needed. Remember most recievers are rated two channels driven, so an external amp is a must. These speakers sound good with 90 watts, they sound like a completely different speaker with 300 watts, they go from good to great.

The speakers are powered. All you need is an audio source. Computer, TV, MP3 player, etc.

that is correct - USB cable & AC power source (adapter is supplied) for the speakers as they have a pretty powerful amp in them!

It has no internal amp, if that's what you mean. So you have to amp your output or use "powered" speakers, which is how I run it.

No, these are traditional component speakers and are not self-powered. Hope this helps. Barry

They are passive speakers, which means that they are unpowered and you need an external AMP/AV receiver to power them.

No amp needed. They function just like ordinary speakers. Hook your output lead from the radio for the rear speakers, and you're done.

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.
