I meant do I need a separate amplifier for the speakers and AVR I have bought recently.

bikram_singh, i doubt if Denon x2000 has main zone pre-outs to hook up a power amp. So i highly doubt if you can hook up a power amp to x2000. Receiver experts, can confirm this for sure and also suggest a receiver that allows you to hook up a power amp like the Emotiva xpa-5 later.
If i was very particular about this, i would do -
1. Select a receiver that has pre-outs for the main zone and allow me to hook up a 5 channel power amp.
2. I would just run the speakers directly on this receiver to see if i miss something. Most casual listeners (like me) would be happy.
3. If you are not happy, then you could get a power amp and hook it to the receiver.

Actually I am just toying with this idea as saw many people considering amp with avrs. I thought if I may need an amp for the said setup.

There are no main zone preouts on that model. You should be fine with the amp power of the denon.
