Speaker setup without a receiver

[ConnieBonnie]

Looking for a solution to not having a receiver for my speakers.

What kind of speakers? Normal speakers have to have a receiver/amp.

 

[ConnieBonnie]

They are onkyo with sub woofer and seven satellite speakers

Unless I'm missing something they have to be driven by a receiver. Not sure what else you'd do with them (or why).

Connie, you're probably looking into what is call HT in a box or All in one HT (home theater) where there a DVD player with built-in amplifier inside or a built-in amp to the sub where it all connected.

Speakers need amplifier unless it's one of those Harman Kardon where you only plug-in to your phone jack but not very powerful. If the unit need to be plugged into a power outlet then it has amplifier.

What you probably want is powered or amplified speakers, where the amplifier is built into the speakers; like the computer speakers.
