[Pre-Amp/Amp & Powered/Passive Confusion]

Thank both of you so much! Extremely helpful, I'll be getting doing a bit of shopping around on which power amp to pick up but this really cleared things up for me.

 

Much appreciated for helping out the newbie!

[Pre-Amp/Amp & Powered/Passive Confusion]

Hi everyone, new to this forum, but I am also new to Klipsch so I guess it makes sense. I did a lot of research on a good bookshelf speaker for upgrading my record player setup (within my price range) and settled on the Klipsch R-15M.  My current setup is a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, into a Pro-Ject Phono Box MM, and as of now into a kind of crappy sound bar - so clearly pretty excited for these new speakers. I thought I was fine without any sort of power amp, but after revisiting I am not so sure. So, I was hoping you guys could clear up for me if I need any additional hardware to translate a 12 inch piece of black plastic into beautiful sound. 

 

Here are the components of my set up:

If I do need an amp to maximize this setup, I would love recommendations! Not too pricey though, I am definitely on a budget

 

Thank you so much!!!
