I feel stupid at the moment, but we have to choose what we do as a school project for next week. The most popular ones are an amplifier and a speaker. What’s the main difference between them? Can I use a speaker without an amplifier?
It’d be nice, if I would make my laptop’s and screen’s speakers sound a little higher. Do I need an amplifier + speaker to do that, or would only a speaker make that? Overall what would you choose to make as a school project from these two?

Speakers need power to make sound. Your laptop speakers draw power from the onboard soundboard. An external speaker can either be powered by its own power supply (it would plug into an outlet or USB port) or by an receiver or amplifier. An amplifier takes a signal and adds power. An instrument “amp” generally has a speaker and amplifier built in.
