The AMP has a sub-out connection just like an AV receiver. You can also adjust the level in the app and the crossover frequency. I have a Canton subwoofer connected to it. I was totally disappointed with the Play 5 and therefore bought the AMP and now have enough steam in the living room :-)
The Sonos Amp has 125 W into 8 ohms per channel and has 2 channels. So it is no use to operate only 1 channel at a time with 2 Sonos Amps. It is also a question of whether this would work at all... By the way, 125 W per channel is already a lot and completely sufficient for my two large electro voice boxes...
Yes, the Sonos Amp can be connected to the network via LAN. Any Sonos device with a LAN connection can be connected via cable to create a SonosNet network.
Sorry not sure I can help you on this. There is a Sonos community online that might be a let to assist you for your particular problem.
I have two Sonos amps - one set up to drive two smaller passive ceiling speakers and a Sonos move in my kitchen/dining room area, and one Sonos amp that drives two big floor standing rooms and speakers in the living room. I also have that amp connected to the Arc HDMI outlet of the tv so that my two large speakers work with the Tv also. It’s really nice!!! Much better clarity to the sound from the TV and also does center the sound so that it seems to come from the tv
Only point with the Sonos amp is that the sonic midrange is somewhat weak - I used to have my speakers hooked up to a really fancy Hifi preamp and amp in the past and sound quality was slightly better. But the ease of using the Sonos system makes up for this very small inconvenience.
Good luck - John
The cheapest solution would probably be from Google, the Google Nest Audio are WiFi enabled and only need power and WiFi. They also sound very good and are perfect for small rooms, you can also configure them into a stereo pair and use that as a stereo setup if needed.

Hello RetoK88. The Sonos Port is the successor of the Connect and has audio inputs and outputs (L+R) as line signals. The AMP, on the other hand, has a built-in stereo amplifier to which classic 4-8 Ohm speakers can be connected. See what you can connect to your B&O speakers. POINT 3 - Picture and sound
There could be interference from other cables (e.g. power cables).
If you want to be on the safe side, I recommend this one:
Inakustik Premium Y-Subwoofer Cable (2m, Premium, Cinch)

That's exactly what I did, connected my Bose boxes to the AMP from Sonos and it works perfectly.
So connect the boxes to the AMP, connect the TV with the HDMI cable to the AMP and the WLAN cable from the AMP to your router.
I have two towers from my old system in front, and the SUB from Sonos on the side and the SUB from my old system in front on the right, two Sonos Five in the back - sounds really great :) What I can recommend to you is the new SUB from Sonsos (awesome)!
I just connected an old Samsung TV yesterday with fem Sonos optical adapter. That went very well.
Unfortunately, you can't buy the adapter from practically any online retailer in Switzerland. On sonos.com you can get it for 35 francs. I found one at my dealer (shop). The adapters come free with other Sonos products.
As far as I know, there would only be the predecessor model of the Sonos Amp. That would be the Sonos Connect Amp. However, as it is outdated and no longer supported, it is not recommended!
Hello Paddy
My configuration looks like this:
- Swisscom UHD Box
- SONOS Amp
- Sonos Optical Audio Adapter
- Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz
- Normal HD Monitor
- SONOS One rear speaker
- Self-built 8Ohm front speaker
I used the "Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz" to loop out the audio signal (TOSLINK) and connected it to the SONOS Amp via the "Sonos Optical Audio Adapter" and HDMI cable.
I cannot judge the quality of the "Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz" with a UHD 4k connection, as I use an HD monitor for the image resolution.
Hopefully I could help you further
Greetings Henry
The Sonos Amp can drive passive stereo speakers. However, a passive centre speaker cannot. In combination with a Sonos Soundbar, speakers with the Amp can be used as rear surround speakers.
However, as a stereo speaker, the Sonos Amp creates a virtual centre.
