I have two of these passive speakers that I would like to connect to my TV. It really doesn’t need to get super loud since I will be using it to watch tv/movies at a normal volume. My tv does have yellow/white rca audio out ports (not just audio in) as well as sigital out.

Can someone please recommend an amp and wires to attach these two with a priority on reliability and energy efficiency? I’m a noob at anything audio.

Update: I found a used amp for cheap and they both sound great!

Is there a risk if the amp puts out over 50W per speaker? If someone cranks the volume would it blow a speaker or something?

Not really. It’ll be fine. An amp that puts out 25W per speak will blow those speakers if you turn it up to max volume on a good reciever.

Yes, but most budget amps quote peak wattage, not RMS power, so even if it says 100w per channel, it might be considerably less. Ideally you get a more powerful amp and just don’t turn it up past halfway. If it’s less powerful then you’ll get clipping when it’s cranked.
