    The amps work great with my whole home sound system. They stay consistently connected to my home network. I had them installed by the Geek Squad so I can’t comment on ease of installation but they have been easy to use since. The mobile Sonos app is often slow to load.

    Easy set up, handles 4 speakers, no center speaker, have not tried the hdmi setup. Easy to setup, app works well, can stream easily. Gets warm, easy to move between indoor and outdoor, hopefully nene y version will allow hardwire center speaker.

    Similar to Apple products, this Sonos amp is pricey for what it is and you can probably find other solutions that may be cheaper or more powerful. However, this product works perfectly out of the box and has you listening to your speakers in less than 10 minutes. Additionally, I haven’t experienced any problems using it over the past month. It is super easy to use like all Sonos products and just works. Definitely recommend if you want a simple no maintenance solution.

    Sonos Amp set-up was very simple. Initially I had a popping noise coming from one of my rear surround sound speakers. Found there was a faulty terminal on the amp. Took back to Best Buy, got a new amp and installed same way as the original, popping no longer there. Adding the amp to hook up surround sound ceiling speakers was a great choice. Paired with the Sonos Arc, my system sounds great and movie nights are amazing!

    I purchased this amp with the recommendation of an employee who works at Best Buy as a member of the Geek Squad. How right he was. It fixed my issue when Directv upgraded my system which took away my ability for external pool deck speakers connection.Great sound and ease of use using our cell phones to operate with the Sonos app.

    Incredibly easy to install and the app is outstanding. In our home, 50% volume is almost too much. We will likely never find the distortion point on these. My only frustration was the width of the openings for the speaker cable. Be wary of using heavy gauge speaker wire if your setup includes 4 speakers. We barely got both sets the posts and had try a few times to twist fresh cable with pliers to make it work. High quality sound, features, and UX. Can’t wait to expand to other areas of the house.

    I replaced an old Nuvo system with these new Sonos amps. I love that I can stream and control everything via an app om my phone. Loaded with Sonos radio and can add other music apps easily. Very satisfied.

    Paired this with some Sonance outdoor speakers and was able to create a whole home experience with Sonos speakers in each room and using the Amp to connect to the outdoor speakers I can go anywhere and hear music. Easy to use and setup, the only negative is that when you clean the unit (we are very dusty here in AZ) you have to be careful or you will start the unit playing (Amp is indoors vs outdoor speakers).

    My first foray in Sonos ownership, and while the components are startlingly expensive for someone who never paid more than $500 for a receiver and wired stuff himself, this gear is simply awesome. As for the amp itself, I cant tell you exactly what it does well in terms of powering four speakers, but I can say that it’s an indispensable component of the Sonos system overall, which is mind-blowing in terms of functionality, quality and simplicity. Amazing music, and the system is easy to access and manage.

    Great amp, but not an excellent open-box choice

    I purchased an open box Sonos amp to go with my Sonos soundbar. It was described as excellent and looked like the box had been opened and then returned. It took some time to reset the amp back to factory settings and pair it to my network as it had already been paired to a different system. Once it was done, the amp worked perfectly. I rated the amp as excellent, as it is, but more testing / troubleshooting of the unit should have been done to return the product to excellent condition. I spent over an hour on the phone with Sonos customer service, almost to the point where Sonos said there was an issue with the amp. Thankfully the Sonos tech was able to correct the issues and I have a great amp for my rear speakers.

    This is an absolutely fantastic amplifier! It enables us not only to use normal device inputs into a high quality system, but also to stream music from our phones, computers, tablets, or other devices from all sorts of sources and services! Fantastic!

    I own 4 Sonos speakers and have always loved the brand. Upon moving to a new house that has built in speakers inside and outside, I needed an amp. I looked no further than the Sonos Amp as it works seamlessly with my other Sonos speakers. I have this amp powering 4 speakers (2 inside and 2 outside) and it has plenty of power. My speakers sound great and I love that I can have all my speakers playing the same thing or different things. Yes it’s pricey, but you pay for quality.

    This is just what I needed to power a set of outdoor speakers. Quality, like all my other Sonos gear, is very good. It’s pretty pricey for what it is, but still a good addition to my home. I did have some setup glitches. Needed to upgrade from the Sonos S1 app to S2, and therefore had to drop a couple of older Sonos speakers from my system. The Sonos S1 and S2 iOS apps got into an upgrade loop where each app told me I had to use the other to continue which was frustrating. I finally was able to get the system updated from the Sonos app on my computer, deleted and reinstalled S2 on my iPhone, and it’s all been good since.

    Bought it to pair some bower & Wilkins m1 speakers to my sonos arc and sonos sub. 125 watts to those speakers makes it sounds great especially for music. I switch it to 2.1 with those speakers and my Martin Logan sub for music and for movies I use the arc , sonos sub and amp powering these surrounds. The sonos arc mimic surround speakers but when you actually have rear surrounds it just feels different.
