Q: Can this speaker work by itself or am I able to connect to my soundbar in some way or do you have to have a receiver/amplifier?

A: They are not self powered and require a receiver or amplifier. They are sized and priced low enough to be part of a surround sound system. I recommend a subwoofer but it doesn't have to be Martin Logan.
