Do these have a built in amplifier or do you need a separate amplifier?

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

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!

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.

No you do not need an amplifier. This system has a built in AM/FM receiver. The sound quality is great for all types of broadcasts. Be sure not to stuff this unit into a corner, for the best sound quality, you need to keep the rear speakers unblocked.

No, they will work without an amp. Yes, for them to work at peak performance. Really depends on your standards of sound quality. Mine sound fine without an amp.

need an amp of some sort. Be careful - not "these!" Unless things have changed this is not for a pair. When I purchased it was for one speaker only. I just read the other guys response and I have no idea what he is talking about. These are ABSOLUTELY not self amplified.

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 do not need a Pyle Amp, they are powered as their own unit. Just plug in to power, and your good to go. Thanks

No amplifier. These are about as efficient as other 106dB/mW headphones in our collection, and work admirably with an inexpensive Behringer headphone amp from the TV audio line out.

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.

They can be connected directly to your amp. But you will definitely need an amp they need some real power.

Hello there , no built in amp. Must use reciver or pre-amp for hook /up. I use a 500 watt app, you don't need much power. Great sound no need to blow your ear/drums out.

You can just hook them up to your existing wires and existing receiver. They don't have to have a external amp

You shouldn't need a separate preamp since most modern turntables already have preamps built in. So if you want to buy one just in case, do so but it shouldn't be needed.

No the need an amplifier you are looking for a PA system these are not for presentation but home audio.

No, you don't need a separate preamp for this amplifier. It has built in preamp already. For vintage amplifier they added tone control like bass, mid-bass, treble. But the modern tube amplifier is set up from low to high frequency of tone through modern circuit using high quality capacitors, resistors etc. Just use good quality of speakers at least 90 db and higher wattage.
