Instead, they have built-in amplification (which powers the speakers and makes the sound loud enough to play through them). These amps are often customized for their specific drivers and cabinetry, which can deliver performance benefits. Modern powered speakers may have other perks, like fully wireless designs (apart from power cables) and wireless streaming from your phone via Wi-Fi and\/or Bluetooth. They\u2019ll typically provide physical connections for CD players, turntables, subwoofers, and TVs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p>What Are Passive Speakers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>These are simply traditional wired speakers that require a separate amplifier or receiver and speaker cables for playback. This creates more steps, since you\u2019ll need to find an amplifier with matching specifications (more on this below). The benefit is that passive speakers are more versatile and dependable, letting you mix and match them in multiple systems and configurations. Because of their simpler design, passive speakers can last for decades when treated properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p>What to Know About Speaker Impedance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>Impedance as it relates to speakers is a specification measured in ohms that refers to a speaker\u2019s resistance to electrical current flow. Most passive speakers have a nominal impedance rating (essentially the average impedance) of 4, 6, or 8 ohms; the lower the number the less resistance to electrical current. You can think of it like plumbing pipes: The wider the pipe, the less opposition to pressure you get and the more flow, or electrical current, you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p>The upshot is that speakers with 4-ohm nominal impedance are generally the hardest to drive because they require the most power, though each speaker&#8217;s impedance will vary by the frequencies it reproduces among other factors. Much is made about impedance in audiophile circles, but most good amplifiers and receivers are rated to power 4-ohm to 8-ohm speaker pairs, with appropriate wattage ratings to match, so it&#8217;s not something to overthink. When choosing the best amplifier for your needs, just make sure to match your speakers&#8217; impedance and power requirements. For 6-ohm speakers, you\u2019ll generally want to go by your amplifier&#8217;s 6-ohm (if offered) or 4-ohm power specs, usually available in the manual or website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p>Speaker Power Requirements and Amplifier Options<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>Passive speakers include specifications for their minimum and maximum power requirements, measured in watts. Without getting too deep into the weeds about amplification types and power efficiency, a good rule of thumb is to pick an amplifier with a wattage rating per channel that closely matches your speaker\u2019s total power requirements. At the very least, you\u2019ll want an amplifier that meets your speaker\u2019s minimum power requirements for its nominal impedance rating (see above).<\/p>\n<p>Some of our favorite stereo amplifiers right now include the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.crutchfield.com\/S-q4GtNp1GMq3\/p_779EVO150\/Cambridge-Audio-Evo-150.html\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/gVLYTFHP77FHrVD2wiD1iV9aSrS1tCMVhfYiXSeG72uHKkhBGw7QELC5gBBhV2h1rXugcY4fosZNwwiWvjFqJY9CDTGjWuAmA3PiQKPc544PPQWSqxyaW2FpQwWM4FjVC7NkReUASQ35iXdBzxv1qx7Ljd6H2ghjTXG44j7AQwSPAmoE3ajAwUZyt22fER6VvfheerZg4d36Fxx1Qr&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/gVLYTFHP77FHrVD2wiD1iV9aSrS1tCMVhfYiXSeG72uHKkhBGw7QELC5gBBhV2h1rXugcY4fosZNwwiWvjFqJY9CDTGjWuAmA3PiQKPc544PPQWSqxyaW2FpQwWM4FjVC7NkReUASQ35iXdBzxv1qx7Ljd6H2ghjTXG44j7AQwSPAmoE3ajAwUZyt22fER6VvfheerZg4d36Fxx1Qr\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Cambridge Audio Evo 150 ($2,999)<\/strong><\/a> and the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Naim-Uniti-Compact-Streaming-Device\/dp\/B074CLJNQK\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3kFAWYpoG8awFdYM2qWXQGU1ogfDAwgR4od8Ag9tZxag8CGBSWS5bfSJGtuU57yQqKPsHuwxfvx4vcD2GavbRtmnFKuHmeHDRAuDEghEnsfvQQ3S6jAypdwSoszjzJBFGDRV8sL8FQSzAuz1ovP9JX3ZFr4BxjVV9Wi1VNCVLwuTdeHAGW3R5LZ8rK7StvzQX41TL&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3kFAWYpoG8awFdYM2qWXQGU1ogfDAwgR4od8Ag9tZxag8CGBSWS5bfSJGtuU57yQqKPsHuwxfvx4vcD2GavbRtmnFKuHmeHDRAuDEghEnsfvQQ3S6jAypdwSoszjzJBFGDRV8sL8FQSzAuz1ovP9JX3ZFr4BxjVV9Wi1VNCVLwuTdeHAGW3R5LZ8rK7StvzQX41TL\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Naim Uniti Atom ($3,799)<\/strong><\/a> at the high end; <strong><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/R-N1000A-Network-Receiver-Built-Silver\/dp\/B0CH231P8G\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/5562jUBkjoEKAjbbHdEMar6h1zY8RkSSWxJ7BGKeSw8r8SynoiKKJPJzjWBF31pziCU8uryb3BdfBDMN1N1qr8gjTRXKRfNcYxWmkLsJ61y7EX5cF8v3xymWNutQBon5pi4sAvv7t43dSuckCYNDAvUGtp2JD2qzJYbrWwaBogcxHUwtZ2chEUFK26vZ9AkhijiFv5DHp&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/5562jUBkjoEKAjbbHdEMar6h1zY8RkSSWxJ7BGKeSw8r8SynoiKKJPJzjWBF31pziCU8uryb3BdfBDMN1N1qr8gjTRXKRfNcYxWmkLsJ61y7EX5cF8v3xymWNutQBon5pi4sAvv7t43dSuckCYNDAvUGtp2JD2qzJYbrWwaBogcxHUwtZ2chEUFK26vZ9AkhijiFv5DHp\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Yamaha&#8217;s R-N1000A ($1,800<\/a>)<\/strong> for a midrange option; <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/2160MkII-Receiver-Internet-Selectable-Management\/dp\/B08XZQBKS7?th=1\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/2160MkII-Receiver-Internet-Selectable-Management\/dp\/B08XZQBKS7?th=1&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/2160MkII-Receiver-Internet-Selectable-Management\/dp\/B08XZQBKS7?th=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Outlaw Audio&#8217;s RR2160 Mk II ($999)<\/strong><\/a> for those who put the sound above all; and at the low end, the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.crutchfield.com\/S-yXBfjgRDmg8\/p_745C316V2\/NAD-C316BEE-V2.html\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/D7sWyRTyBnUnTaHMR77KBhGEZ43eitLyDnnSdhpEcUKdgki15auhHzefFA6aVBmzCVk7o9nUHVozEVU6drVErwmVfQyUZdLgTdxomEJZYjBuEJqunepAdQnDqEqEZmL4nMixgG22MQB6xEMDvxMNNwqmCUm2tJfG1hKRvkNDJQMg1v51gzGhMCNReNwccb87Ndd3KL&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/D7sWyRTyBnUnTaHMR77KBhGEZ43eitLyDnnSdhpEcUKdgki15auhHzefFA6aVBmzCVk7o9nUHVozEVU6drVErwmVfQyUZdLgTdxomEJZYjBuEJqunepAdQnDqEqEZmL4nMixgG22MQB6xEMDvxMNNwqmCUm2tJfG1hKRvkNDJQMg1v51gzGhMCNReNwccb87Ndd3KL\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>NAD C 316 V2 ($399)<\/strong><\/a> and the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/WiiM-Amp-Pro-Multiroom-Compatible\/dp\/B0DFPJ91ZX\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/9B6f5kDzu8NHjnuK9Cc4tKCW2RM1ai3pRjbPtswZnU9GHSaUc5HaFWgbDYB2AuiejesT6UnZLihbCtNWSeLLPki8N89nrAWeruYaq2GB2kL1FeuoHkgGBjRzyddgnBYVLbLkniqqhkWuZtJYZvvUziVw1pozWZ36TrQzsnCZTVYRb7ECiKH7MBAeSeHewGuN7G&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/9B6f5kDzu8NHjnuK9Cc4tKCW2RM1ai3pRjbPtswZnU9GHSaUc5HaFWgbDYB2AuiejesT6UnZLihbCtNWSeLLPki8N89nrAWeruYaq2GB2kL1FeuoHkgGBjRzyddgnBYVLbLkniqqhkWuZtJYZvvUziVw1pozWZ36TrQzsnCZTVYRb7ECiKH7MBAeSeHewGuN7G\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Wiim Amp Pro ($379)<\/strong><\/a>, which can be used in a whole-home audio setup.

While some bookshelf speakers like KEF&#8217;s R3 Meta (and the more affordable Q Concerto Meta) do a fine job reaching into the lower frequencies, you&#8217;ll still need a subwoofer to hit <em>all<\/em> the low notes with authority. That&#8217;s especially true for smaller speaker pairings like the SVS Prime Wireless.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you need a sub may depend on your listening habits\u2014if you&#8217;re mainly a jazz cat, that double bass will sound just fine from most speaker pairings alone.
