Energy Take Classic is a passive 5.1 speaker system that can sound surprisingly strong for the money, especially in a medium sized room with a proper AVR and subwoofer. The small 3.5 inch woofers lean on the included sub for bass, and the setup has been described as a soundbar killer when paired with receivers like the Yamaha RX V385 or Denon AVR S270BT. The main catch is that no receiver is included, so it needs an amplifier or AVR before it can be used. It is a solid budget surround option if you already have the gear to drive it.

No. It is a passive 5.1 speaker-only package, so you need an AVR or amplifier to use it with a TV, computer, or other source. A 5-channel receiver is the minimum for proper surround sound.
A budget 5.1 AVR such as a Yamaha RX-V385/RX-V383 or Denon AVR-S270BT is a practical match, and used 5.1 optical receivers can also work if you want to save money. For many older receivers, the original remote is important because some features are only accessible from it.
Yes, it can work well in a medium-sized room when paired with a suitable AVR and subwoofer. The small 3.5-inch woofers rely on the sub for bass, but the setup has been used successfully in medium rooms and can outperform many soundbars.
With an AVR, it can beat many soundbars, including expensive ones, because it gives you real discrete surround speakers and a separate subwoofer. One comparison also noted that Klipsch Quintet speakers at the same price sounded better, so the Energy set is solid but not class-leading.
Not directly. These are passive speakers, so you need an amplifier or AVR between the speakers and the computer or TV to power them and handle the audio channels.

Let's correct their mistake here on SD, at least.
Even a quick search results in:
Because of the confusing naming, many retailers have actually started listing this specific model as the Energy Take Classic 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System to prevent people from opening the box on delivery day only to realize they can't plug it into their TV.
