Default Question about mini amplifiers

I have two bookshelf speakers in my garage. They are powered and I feed it from my phone through a small bluetooth receiver.

Here are the speakers

here is the bluetooth receiver

It sounds pretty good in my big garage (24 x36).

I am thinking of getting a mini amplifier for them. Here is one that has lots of great reviews.

Would that make much difference in the sound? What could I expect? I have never used an standalone amplifier, only a receiver/amplifier and really don't know anything about it.

are the speakers of the "powered" variety (having their own amplifiers)?

If so, can then be driven directly - bypassing their internal amps ???

They are powered. I will have to check that, right?

I suspect you have built in amps......especially if you have a wireless connection and/or an old RCA phonograph pin plug from your music source to the speakers.....so the answer wood be fuggetaboutit......

Those are powered mini-monitors and can not be powered via outboard amp.
You'd have to get a set of passive speakers and a receiver to go with your new amp unless you got an integrated (amp/receiver)

If you are looking for improved sound quality, feel free to shoot me a pm if you want to knock around details, ideas, and budget.

You don't have to break the bank to get great sound.

You don't amplify a signal that's already amplified in this case. Besides, your speakers would probably blow out even if you did manage to get another amp inline.
