Is one speaker or a pair included?

It is sold as a single floorstanding speaker. You need two for a stereo pair or front channels.

Do I need a powerful amplifier?

No. At 96 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms it plays loudly from modest receivers, though it can handle up to 500 W peak.

The II uses a larger 90° x 90° silicone composite Tractrix horn and redesigned Cerametallic woofers for smoother response and lower distortion.

It reaches 25 Hz, so it covers most music without one. For deep home-theater effects a subwoofer still adds the lowest octave.

It works as a front left or right speaker. Its size makes it bulky as a surround, where a bookshelf model is usually easier to place.

No. It is a passive wired speaker with binding posts and no network or app features.
