Hi everyone. I live in mauritius and currently planning to buy a pair of polk atrium 8 speakers to place near the pool area in my backyard. I have no clue which amplifier to go for. Do i really need a very good one or just one that will give enough power to the speakers? I can only buy in UK and since i cannot really find any TIC GS3 or Klipsch rock speakers, am going for the polk atrium but would like to keep costs at a minimum for the amplifier. Lastly, can i connect an alexa echo dot 5th gen to the amp through the 3.5mm port?

Any recommendations on which one to go for? What's the difference between a receiver and the amp? -

So for example would this work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amplifier-Moukey-Wireless-Monitoring-Entertainment-Black-2/dp/B08H4R221Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=3EUOOKBVQP3LR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._O-nG7d8EODF1vCSnsCLtMmpFFV0TM2iXhnDjaE2bBc7UeedQSYfgUlM5r177jHtw-3kUgNXkE_KoM4blGVQ3KBHZXkZVoIl6xgL96UoSP8ypAHvknnEDb_1elw_7lfIHF0zf0fr8iecULFAF8kupSmOPweOT7oJh31vaR9esA8OKqbvz7Jctui9-OcGBdefShulGZQWeAi9AR6vl-js2Q.1fg4VnbTMyxoh1hwY131u0IVtkHX53f3OJsLpPhtHhA&dib_tag=se&keywords=stereo+receiver+amplifier&qid=1716839451&sprefix=stereo+rece,aps,344&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1 -

A receiver is a pre amp, power amplifier and tuner all in one box. An amplifier is just that, a power amplifier. It needs a separate pre amp to control such things as the volume and source selection/inputs.
I know nothing about that item in your link, but it looks like a real POS. Maybe look at something like a Yamaha R-S202.Political Correctness'.........defined
