A:AnswerWell, it depends if you want the wireless convenience of a Sonos speaker, ignoring the fact that they are active and plug in.
An active speaker is theoretically a well engineered match of a driver, one or more, and an amp, which I would argue a typical Sonos speaker is.
Your speakers may or may not pair well with the AMP but if it easy to run wires from one to the other it might be worth a try,
I would probably go with additional Sonos speakers for the sheer convenience and ease of installation given all the mounting options that a Sonos unit has that might not be available for your speakers.
One other thought...
You can control the Sonos speaker on the top/side of the speaker should you receive a phone call and want to mute it/them. You can't do that with passive speakers and an AMP.
A:AnswerThe Sonos Amp can only be used with traditional speakers.
I have Klipsh bookshelf speakers that I am using with the amp.
I connected my speakers to the amp using speaker cables with banana plug ends.
The amp would not change your sound setup at all.
A:AnswerYou need two Amps for separate playback..
The Amp can power up to four speakers but they must be either daisy chained (two speakers per chain) or two + - lines per terminal .
A:AnswerThe SONOS PLAY 1 speakers have built in amplifiers, all you need is an electrical outlet to plug them into. They can be grouped with your SONOS AMP and play the same music that is playing on your Bose speakers via the SONOS AMP. So, the answer is yes. Enjoy!
A:AnswerIf your TV has an output connector that looks like a headphone jack. You can connect that to he amp or if it has an HDMI ARC port you can use and HDMI cable to get the audio to the amp
A:AnswerYou are able to connect to the Sonos via Bluetooth or Airplay inside the app of the streaming service you are using. Once connected you could also use the Sonos app. The Sonos app is very versatile
A:Answer2.1 amplifier means two speakers plus one subwoofer. Fom the Sonos User's Guide we have - Two pairs of 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel are also supported. So, yes, the pairs of speakers plus sub described in the question are fine.
A:AnswerYes, you can. This is the perfect piece of technology that will help to reuse spare speakers from other equipments. I will recommend you to check if the connection in your Bose speakers is standard.
A:AnswerWith unamplified Bose speakers yes, with Bose media systems, no, unless you are just using an output from your Bose as a source into the amp to drive an additional set of speakers.
A:AnswerYou spend too much on Sonos if you have 5 of these! A good receiver only costs as much as two of these things and will do everything 5 of them will do and more. Anyway, yes, the old and new Sonos amps work together just fine.
