My receiver won't drive my unpowered sub!

This is for a home audio receiver. (Technics SA-EX3200)
I then got a Pioneer S-HTD530 5.1CH Speaker System (seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16882117184).

The subwoofer is unpowered. I can't return the speakers.

Is there an amp I can put between the sub and the receiver?

New system

I joined this sight thinking I was going to purchase a Yamaha 2-channel receiver with Paradigm speakers. After reading posts and reviews I decided to do more research on stereo equip. My wallet and wife aren't too happy, but I think I'll be much happier with a higher end system.

I've narrowed my choice to Amp:NAD C372, CD Player:NAD C525BEE and Speakers:Paradigm Monitor 7.

Any suggestions, recommendations or comments are appreciated.

newbie needs advice

I would like some input from some people on the benefits of higher end cd players.

Now compared to most people on the forum my kit is budget for sure. I currently am using a marantz sr-6300 in a dual purpose set-up (5.1 for movies, almost always 2.0 for music). The player I have right now is a panasonic dvd f-65, obviously I use it for both movies and music. It is connected to the reciever with a toslink connection.

Parasound, B&K

Forums

I'm considering the purchase of the Parasound 2100 pre-amp and 2125 power amp. Also thinking about th B&K Reference 5 S2 pre and Reference 125.2 S2 power amps.

I've read several reviews on all of these, but haven't had a chance to listen to any as of yet. I was curious if anyone
is familiar with any of these items.

Any info is certainly appreciated. Thanks.
