How to Choose an Amplifier for Your Speakers

Choosing the right amplifier ensures your home stereo system performs at its best. Key factors include power output, impedance matching, and speaker sensitivity.

Note: If you’re using active speakers (which have built-in amps), you don’t need a separate amplifier.

Once you’ve selected your speakers, the next step is choosing the right amplifier to power them. An amplifier boosts the low-voltage signal from your source—like a turntable, computer, or CD player—into a level strong enough to drive your speakers.

Choosing the right amp is crucial for both sound quality and system performance. A mismatched amplifier can limit your audio experience—or worse, damage your gear.

Here are the three key factors to consider when buying an amplifier:

  1. Power Output (Wattage) – How much power your speakers need.

  2. Impedance Matching – Ensuring your amp and speakers work safely together.

  3. Speaker Sensitivity – How efficiently your speakers convert power into volume.

We’ll break down each of these to help you choose the best amp for your system.
