A compact streaming amplifier that turns passive speakers into a Sonos zone fed by the TV, a turntable or apps. Speakers are sold separately, and control runs through the Sonos app or another connected controller.
A light Bluetooth amplifier for adding wireless playback to speakers you already own. The spec sheet is thin, with no output rating or channel count, so check the maker's figures before wiring it up.
A small, no-frills 2-channel Bluetooth amplifier built to drive a single pair of passive speakers, not a full home theater receiver.
A compact Bluetooth amplifier with its own power adapter, for feeding wireless audio to speakers you already have. The listing gives no wattage, channel count or warranty term, so those specs must come from Fosi Audio directly.
A clean way to bring streaming to passive in-ceiling or outdoor speakers, with app control and broad casting support. Input connections are not spelled out, so confirm how a turntable or TV will connect.
USB plus RCA inputs and a 200 watt 2.0 channel rating make this a fit for a basic stereo setup, and its near-rack-width chassis suits a shelf or rack mount.
A small amplifier that adds Bluetooth and a subwoofer channel to a pair of passive speakers. It has no HDMI or optical input, so it suits music and desktop setups more than TV sound.
A no frills 2 channel Bluetooth amplifier sized for a small room or single speaker pair, not a multi channel home theater rig.
A compact 200-watt, 2-channel amplifier with Bluetooth and USB, small enough to tuck into a tight space, backed by a 4.2 average across 1,500 ratings.
Popular PickWith a high power rating and three input types in a compact chassis, the P3301BAT is worth a look, though confirm whether the 3000W figure is peak or continuous before relying on it.
A versatile desktop tube amp and DAC for powering bookshelf speakers from almost any source. Turntables need their own phono preamp, and the tube type shipped cannot be chosen.
This 2 channel amplifier suits a stereo speaker pair, with HDMI and Bluetooth covering the two most common source types.
A compact, very clean mono power amp for adding power to one speaker or building out an AV receiver. You need one per speaker, and the power supply is not listed in the box.
A powerful mini amp for desktop and bookshelf speakers, with room to tinker through op-amp swaps and supply upgrades. Full rated power needs a larger supply than the one included, and there is no wireless.
A powerful little stereo amp for driving bookshelf speakers or a bass shaker from a PC, TV or turntable preamp. It has RCA input only, so digital and Bluetooth sources need a converter.
A tiny, efficient stereo amp that drives a pair of bookshelf speakers from a phone, PC or TV with low noise. It is a simple two channel amp, without Bluetooth or a tone control listed.
A compact power stage for a desk or bookshelf system already fed by a source or preamp. The listing is thin on inputs and per channel power, so confirm connections first.
A compact stereo power amp for someone building a small desktop or bookshelf system from separate parts. The specs leave out the inputs and speaker load, so read the manual before planning the hookup.
A compact 500-watt rack amplifier with meaningful recent purchase volume, worth a look for a budget PA setup though continuous power output isn't broken out.
A tiny monoblock amp with clean measured performance and balanced inputs, well suited to adding power to an AV receiver or building a stereo pair. One unit drives one speaker, so stereo needs two.
A compact amplifier that drives two passive speakers and a passive subwoofer from one all metal box, with Bluetooth and dedicated sub controls. Wired inputs are not described, so confirm how your sources connect.
A compact mono amp for driving a passive subwoofer or bass shaker in a desk or TV setup, with crossover and volume knobs. Speaker impedance is not listed, so match your sub carefully.

The score combines owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality from public Amazon listings (updated 3 days ago). We do not test products ourselves.
Pyle, Fosi Audio, Rockville, Aiyima, FiiO lead this category among the 29 brands that passed our curation checks.
A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by the ProductDome score, which weighs owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality.
Integrated amplifiers combine source selection and volume control with amplification; separate power amplifiers need an upstream device to handle those controls. For passive speakers, either arrangement can work, but a power amplifier makes sense when you already have a suitable preamplifier or source with a controllable output. Headphone amplifiers serve a different load, so confirm that the unit has outputs intended for what you will connect. If your television setup needs surround decoding and video switching, look at AV Receivers and confirm those functions. For a speaker amplifier, start with the speakers’ electrical requirements and your intended listening volume.
Match the speakers’ nominal impedance to the amplifier’s supported load before comparing output power. Among the 20 products that list output power, most fall between 29 and 410 watts, and 100 watts is typical. Advertised output depends on the speaker load, distortion limit and how many channels are driven during measurement, so compare ratings under equivalent conditions. A headline peak figure is less useful for sustained listening than a continuous rating with those conditions stated. Speaker sensitivity, listening distance and desired volume affect the power you need; use the speaker manufacturer’s amplifier guidance as a starting point. If you plan to connect multiple speakers to an output, follow the amplifier manual’s permitted wiring arrangements, because the combined load can make an otherwise suitable pairing unsuitable.
Next, trace the connection from each source to the amplifier. A television with an optical output needs a compatible digital input or a separate converter; an analog input cannot accept that signal directly. For a turntable, establish whether a suitable phono stage is built into the turntable or amplifier, or must be added separately. For everyday television use, check whether your existing remote can control amplifier volume through the intended connection. If you want a powered subwoofer, match its accepted inputs to the amplifier’s available outputs and check whether the amplifier provides bass filtering or leaves that adjustment to the subwoofer.
Before buying, distinguish a finished amplifier from an exposed amplifier board: a board may require an enclosure, wiring and a separate power supply. For units using an external supply, verify the required voltage, current capacity, connector and polarity, plus whether the supply is included. Compare the enclosure dimensions and the manual’s ventilation clearances with your cabinet, allowing room behind the speaker terminals for connected cables. Confirm whether those terminals accept your existing cable ends or require different terminations.
