Do these speakers need an amplifier?

Yes. They are passive 8-ohm speakers with no built-in amplification, Bluetooth or streaming, so you need an AV receiver or amplifier to power them.

How many speakers come in the box?

Two. The listing is for a pair, which covers a left and right channel or two surround positions.

Can I use them for Dolby Atmos height channels?

No. They are not designated for height-channel use, so plan them for standard surround or stereo roles and pick an up-firing or ceiling model for Atmos heights.

Can I stream music to them directly from my phone?

Not directly. There is no Bluetooth, AirPlay or Spotify Connect, so streaming goes through a connected receiver, streamer or amplifier.

What impedance do they present to my receiver?

8 ohms. That is a friendly load for most home theater receivers, though check your amp's rating for the number of channels you plan to drive.

Our take on the Klipsch E2KLPR1650C Speakers

The Klipsch E2KLPR1650C is a pair of white in-wall speakers built around Klipsch's horn-loaded tweeter design, rated at 8 ohms. They are passive speakers: no Bluetooth, AirPlay, Spotify Connect or app control, so they need a wired amplifier or AV receiver to play. That makes them a fit for whole-home audio or surround installs where wiring is already planned, not for a quick wireless setup.
