Yes. Most of my SB's use a very cheap but very good little amplifier called the T-Amp. It looks as cheap as it is, so I have them hidden away. http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/t-amp_e.html (available for around $30) > Q1.

A cheap option is to buy so-called multimedia speakers that are meant to be connect to PC's. They have amplifiers built in. Check out the Logitech products: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/productlist/US/EN,crid=2171,categoryid=421 > Q2.

BTW, have you considered picking up an older SB model (SB1/SB2/SliMP3) second hand from Ebay? An SB1 can be picked up for < $100 AFAIK.
