A pre amp is before the power amp, a power amp or amplifier powers
speakers. You have a pre amp but do you have a power amp in the tv
that allows external speakers. On the back you should have an audio
and video out RCA jacks, this is pre amp level and not enough to drive
speakers, this you would plug into a amp-power amp or powered PC
speakers. Exteral speakers have connections that take raw wire like
you have on the back of an amp so if you dont have those you need an
amp. You probably need an amp of 5-10 watts. radio shack has Pyle Pro
PCA1 a 2x15w power amp for 40$, it looks like its 30w peak or 10-15w
clean power- 5w a channel.

Once again, I recommend getting a used stereo amp off Craigslist. *Why
screw around with 15 watts per channel when you can have 100 watts for
the same money? *You don't have to play things any louder; the sound
will just be cleaner with no audible distortion. *

At the same volume it won't sound any differently.
