    The amp was received quickly. It was in original packaging and appeared to be in brand new condition. Best open box item ever. Hooked it up and tested. Working perfectly. It’s very convenient to operate. A little pricey, but excellent choice for multi room system! Only complaint is shipping package. The unit was in larger shipping box with no padding inside. Luckily it was not damaged during transit. A few pennies worth of packing paper would be a good investment!

    Worked with the Geek Squad to update all of our entertainment systems. This was one of the BEST BUY recommendations. This one small Amp provides more power the 5 speaker zones we have outside that our previous received which cost 3 times as much; AND it is fully integrated with our wireless network for ease of use!

    Bought this to replace Sony HAP-S1

    I love this Sonos player. It has worked since day one and continues to work without issue. We listen to SiriusXM, Spotify, digitized CDs and sometimes other sources like Amazon. We've never had an issue with it yet. Contrast that with the HAP-S1 that I had for a couple of years before that - it hung constantly. I would come home and find it was switched on and frozen even though it was switched off the day before. I contacted Sony support many times and they were useless which is a shame because I like Sony products typically. Anyway, the move to Sonos was seamless.

    This Sonos amp came highly recommended by an audio tech that installed my speakers. I was so concerned i would have to have him come back out to handle the install but i was completely wrong. As someone very unfamiliar with audio, i easily installed this in less than 10 mins. Out of the box, the instructions guide you on how to install. The only downside is the instructions were not clear that the plugs screwed open to install the wiring. I had to watch a few online videos for those instructions. Once connected, i installed the app and that was it. The app is so intuitive. It walks you step by step how to setup your device. When i turned it on, the sound is perfect - clear and crisp. I love that you can connect both music and book readers like audible. The connectable apps is pretty extensive, that I was impressed. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone. If you’re on the fence about this purchase, I’ll happily encourage you to make the leap. Excellent product thats well worth the investment.

    Great Solution for Multi-Zone Music System

    I'm very pleased with this Sonos Amp! I use it to power 4 speakers embedded in my ceiling, and I plan to buy two more to group with this to play the same music in multiple zones in my home. Except for the minimal controls on the front, the Amp is entirely controlled by the Sonos Amp. Through that, I can stream SiriusXM Radio, Amazon Music, and dozens of other streaming services. I may also link it to a network storage device to use to to play my larger music collection. Very well designed and easy to use product!

    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.

    You can go wrong with these amps. A have a couple of them in order to section different rooms in my house. Best thing is that they are stackable. No heat problems or streaming feed. I deciden to connect them via LAN in order to downsize the wifi devices. Best thing is that they create their on wifi in order to talk to other sonos speakers.

    Outstanding Product

    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.

    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 Sound, Teenage Torture Device Capabilities

    I have three of these Sonos Amps, one for each level of my house, and they deliver excellent sound quality throughout. The multi-room setup works seamlessly and the audio is crisp and powerful. Perfect for creating that whole-house music experience I wanted. However, I didn't anticipate that my teenage daughters would weaponize this system to subject me to Taylor Swift at maximum volume from multiple floors simultaneously. Apparently "Shake It Off" sounds the same whether it's coming from the basement, main floor, or upstairs - just louder and more inescapable. The real issue? At $700 each, I'm questioning my life choices. Yes, the sound quality is great, but honestly, Alexa devices deliver surprisingly similar results for a fraction of the cost. The difference in audio quality exists, but it's not $2,100 worth of difference for my setup

    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).

    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.

    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!
