    That is correct Hoosier, you would have to add an amplifier for power to drive the speakers. Welcome to Club Polk!

    Generally speaking, a pre-amp is used in a 2 channel music system and has the usual functions, while a pre/pro is generally used in a Home Theater system. The processor refers to the ability to manipulate the movie audio, but you can certainly do this to music if so inclined.
