Wonderful product for my outdoor system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have large covered patio, and wanted to install some speakers under it so that we could listen to music while swimming in our pool. The wife and I stream music through services such as Spotify and Tidal, and so we wanted something that could not only power the speakers, but let us use those streaming services. I picked up 4X Klipsch 650AW speakers, as the reviews stated that they put out really good, clear sound. They are 8ohm speakers, which is what this AMP recommends when using more than 2 speakers. Installation was easy. Though there are only two speaker hookup jacks, to utilize four speakers you simply have to wire them both into the same jack. There is also a mount you can purchase which I used to mount to the wall. After it was all wired, it was easy to tie the amp to my Sonos Connect, which is inside and hooked up to my Intregra DRX 3.2 receiver . This baby is wonderful. Sound is crisp and clear, and I can "sync" it with my home theater system inside as well. My home theater room is near the back door, so ideally I could have the same music played inside and outside during parties. It's a great product. Yes it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion!

Pure Sonos
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’ve already done your research then let me confirm that it’s all true, the good and the bad. Yes it is expensive, yes you gotta EQ out of the box (too flat at first) but all the pros outweigh those two cons. I connected these two my B&W CM2 bookshelves and WOW. Another con is getting hooked on these products! Also you can add a turntable but you’ll need to buy a phono preamp.

Great Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the Sonos upgrade offer through Best Buy and received 33% off the new amp. You can really hear the extra power over the older amp.... Able to drive bigger speakers. And in conjunction with the new S2 controller software the sound quality is much improved. It is pretty easy to hide in a cabinet, but looks very nice on top of cabinet also. Especially like the removeable connection system. Makes it very easy to hookup speaks. Although a little more expense, very glad I upgraded.

Pricey, but very very good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all, this is a very expensive amplifier. There are plenty of other amps that are compact, clean-sounding, and cheaper. However, the Sonos network and features combined with this well-designed amp make for an excellent product. Install was simple, ease of use is great, and it sounds very clean through my in-ceiling speakers, with plenty of power to spare.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This amp was exactly what I needed to tie my old wired ceiling speakers into my new state of the art Sonos tv bar. The connectivity was simple and fast. Couldn’t have been any easier to install. And the sound quality is second to none. This amp is just what you need to complete and elevate your surround sound system. My only regret is wishing I’d found this solution sooner! Worth every penny!

Expensive but powerful 2 channel amp
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive but powerful 2 channel amp. I use 2 of these to power my outdoor speaker channels and integrates into broader Sonos system. Very easy to use, beautiful design and small form factor vs other AVR's.

Sleek and Powerful
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A must have if you own the in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. Very easy to setup and use, provides plenty of power, and comes in a well built and compact design. A bit expensive, especially if you have to purchase multiple amps like I did, but they are worth every penny.

Just buy it. You won't be sorry.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to power a set of Bose 251 outdoor speaker. The Polk Omni A1 I was using just didn't have enough power or the right connectivity I wanted. I tried a couple other option to try to save money and finally bought the Sonos Amp. I should have started by buying this amp and saved myself a lot of heartache.

So easy to use and great quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I used the Arc line to the TV, it was by far the most simple setup I have ever had! Volume is controlled via TV or Apple TV remote (which I also have connected to TV). So I can finally use one remote for everything! No more soundbar volume remote along with appletv or tv remote. And quality is fantastic! Small size, mounted behind the TV using a mount from Amazon as well so it’s all hidden.

It works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not realize how much I needed this amp. Replaced an older AV receiver I was using to extend a zone in my backyard. The Sonos amp is a much better option. I can hear a sound quality difference and love being able to connect to the other speakers throughout my house. The setup was easy with the Sonos amp. The small footprint is a bonus for the location I have it in.

Excellent sound quality, easy setup, a bit pricey
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have used the Sonos suite for a while, including the Beam, Play, and Sub speakers. Moving to a new hosue presented us with in-ceiling kitchen speakers, as well as wall-mount patio speakers. We opted to smartify them by using this Sonos Amp. It works very well and the user experience is comparable to all of our other Sonos products. The setup was fairly quick, though having to enter a PIN in addition to pressing the pair button is frustrating. Especially, given that ours is wall mounted behind other equipment. We configured the unit for dual-mono mode as that was ideal for serving 2 rooms off 1 amp. Although im unsure of the speakers (brand/model) we have, it all sounds great! When compared to other options, this Sonos Amp is a bit pricey. However, given the sound quality, sleekness, and integration with our other Sonos products, we would buy it again.

Great way to get SONOS to existing wired speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to get started in the Sonos family, but in particular needed a way to drive existing wired, installed speakers. This allows driving up to 3 pairs of wired speakers. Sonos is great as you can control from an app and link every imaginable streaming service into a single UI. Awesome. And now I can add more wireless Sonos speakers, and all will be in sync. One thing to note, this amplifier does not have zones. Thus, if you hook up three pairs of speakers, it's all or none... unless you have a separate switch.

Just Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My outdoor audio system consists of the Sonos amp, Sonos Port media streamer, Sonance SGS 8.1 amp and speaker system, 50" Insignia TV, Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar, and a pair of Polk Audio Atrium 8 SDI speakers. I split my system into three zones (pool area, patio speakers, patio TV/soundbar) where I can stream music or TV audio to just one zone, two zones, or all three zones simultaneously, giving me evenly distributed sound throughout my entire 6700+ square foot backyard. The Sonos app is fairly easy to use for setting up multiple zones, selecting your streaming services and controlling the volume within each of the various zones. The Sonos amp is an amazing product and I am extremely thrilled with my purchase.

This Amp is awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this installed now for about a week. It was very easy to setup and I love the small footprint this amp has. I was a little concerned about it being under powered (especially for the price), but figured if it didn't work out I could always take it back and keep looking. But, I was pleasantly surprised at the sound this little guy delivers. It makes a great addition to the my Sonos audio family and I highly recommend getting it if it's on your short list.

Great product..
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Soo easy to set up it makes a novice feel like a professional installer.. The app is great it makes everything very easy to use I have 4 speakers controlled by each amp and it powers them all fine.. With two or more amps u can also control different rooms to play different music and the level of sound in each room is adjustable.. a little pricy but worth it if you just want something quick to set up that will function as it’s supposed to.
