    FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH FOR OLD SPEAKERS

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you have any wired speakers that are great, this AMP makes them relevant again! Ford is bringing the Bronco back and Sonos is bringing your older powerful wired speakers back... and sub! I have many Sonos speakers that have replaced my old book shelf to bluetooth speakers. My standing speakers were in an old AV set up. It is amazing to set up the old speakers via speaker wire and instantly being able to play music with the Sonos App. Remember when back in the day you had to wire speakers to Amp, you then had to set up the Turntable, CD Player, cassette player etc. No longer. This sets up within minutes and you can play music through the Sonos App in seconds. IF ONLY WE HAD THIS GROWING UP!! Worth every penny b/c you feel like you helped your older speakers cheat audio death!

    fantastic amp for a somewhat niche market

    the good: -crisp, clean power - Class D 125RMS per channel @8ohms, and boy does it deliver. I connected this amp to my Klipsch RP-150m bookshelves, and wow. Clarity, punch, and tons of power. Zero distortion to my ears even at the loudest volumes. It sounds absolutely fantastic. -Sonos connectivity - Stream a multitude of services through the Sonos mobile app. You can also include this amp in "groups", where they're either playing the same music through each connection, or completely different music, depending on the source. Very cool for "connected" homes. -small form factor - Actually quite surprising that this much functionality (and amp power) fit into such a small black box. -multi-purpose, with ability to use non-Sonos speakers and sub - This is one of the things I appreciate most. This versatility allows for placement in something like my setup (2 bookshelves and a sub) or even rear channels where a separate receiver has pre-amp outs. Stack multiples of these amps (as some installers will surely do) and you can build your own high powered surround home theater system. -control via mobile app - No remote needed. Either control with the Mobile app, or via HDMI CEC. the bad: -really none, depending on your application. overall: This amp won't be for everyone. If you don't care about the Sonos ecosystem, you may be better served with a 2.1 channel amp without all the additional features. That being said, it has a ton of very clean power; plenty enough for either book shelves or floor towers. For the somewhat niche market that this feature rich amp will appeal to, it's an easy 5 stars. Highly recommended.

    For a Retro-System with all the Modern Features

    I’m old enough to remember when relatively simple separate amplifiers were a common and key part of every “Hi-Fi Enthusiast’s” sound system along with a separate equalizer, tuner, turntable, tape deck and speakers. But, electronics were evolving rapidly in those days and separate components allowed upgrading individual parts of the system as each sub-category improved. It was part of the “fun” of the hobby. Later, as integrated circuits became cheaper and also far more capable and the average consumer just wanted a thing that worked without the mystery, one box does it all systems became the rage. Everything was incorporated into one device. I’m not saying that this hasn’t been progress and this Sonos Amp and a couple of good speakers (and a Sub-Woofer for great bass) can import music from the internet with its built in LAN/Wi-Fi capabilities. However for ME, its greatest feature is the ability to take the line signal from my stereo vinyl record turntable into the amps left and right Line-In RCA Jacks. 1970’s simple visual aesthetics (the round passive heat-vent on the top resembles a Turntable) on the shelf, with 21st century clear powerful sound. Features: - 125 Watts per Channel - Left and Right RCA Line-In for legacy devices like phono turntables - HDMI ARC connection to connect in from and back to, the speakers or sound bar of an HD TV if the TV and and/or the soundbar are also ARC (two-way over HDMI) compliant. - An optional Optical Audio Adapter is available at extra cost to connect the Sonos Amp to your TV’s optical audio output if your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port. - LAN and Wireless Network connections - Can be controlled via the Sonos Phone App, Apple “AirPlay” or many Music Service Apps - Silent convection assisted Air Cooling System. - The included Banana-Plug sets, drop the speaker wires 90 degrees straight down for a clean installation. - Has a separate RCA Out-Jack for a Powered Subwoofer Speaker. - The Amp’s Operating System is designed to be upgradable over the internet connection if it ever becomes necessary. - 1 Year Limited Warranty on Parts PROS: - A Top Spec, High Performance Stereo Amplifier - Attractive design - Very compact for its power - Well cooled with efficient quiet convection vents - Works with many Music Services and input devices CONS: - Uses only 2.4Ghz for Wi-Fi. In some settings, devices have trouble communicating over 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi because there are so many other devices in the home using 2.4Ghz. In these cases, switching to 5Ghz Wi-Fi will solve the communication problem. - Its high end price is totally justified by its high end features. However, if simple stereo amplification of a single Left-Right analog Line-In source is all that’s needed, a less feature laden amplifier might suffice.

    Excellent Product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this on a whim as I can’t stand the sound from sound bars and like to have very large speakers. I also didn’t want extra remotes and wanted to use the Sonos app to play with my current existing speakers. I have 2 Polk RTI A7 floor speakers they can handle 20-300 watts. This pushes them exceptionally well in my living room. I also have 2 Sonos ones as the rear channel and they work well in the 4.0 set up. Surround sound through the hdmi arc connection is very good. Immersive and clean. Center image could be better but that’s probably coming up in an upgrade soon. Sound quality is amazing, bass is extremely impressive without distortion volume level is very good as well. I set it to around 1/3-1/2 for music and that’s almost overwhelming for tv/movies it’s around 1/3-3/4 volume level. There is a dialogue increase button for tv as well that doesn’t effect music quality. You can use a powered sub or the Sonos Sub with this unit. It does make you turn on the crossover though if you choose to. I have played music about half way with the speakers shaking my windows then touched the unit after an hour of continuous playback it wasn’t hot just a little warm. Which is great as every other receiver I’ve used has been almost too hot to touch from driving these speakers. Only thing I can find to complain about is the treble. It seems just a bit too bright. Not harsh just bright. I lowered that a bit and it sounds fine. Hopefully they will be able to software update that and clean the eq up a bit. As with all Sonos products they make them future proof. When an update comes out they all update and improve. Truplay would be a nice update

    I don't usually write reviews but after buying this amp I am so impressed with the sound and power. I hooked up two proficent 8inch rock speakers and two 6.5inch profiecet wall speakers and my back yard, it sounds amazing! Buy this amp you will not be disappointed. I also bought another for my inside hooked up to my tv with 4 proficent in wall speakers and sub. Movies and music sound fantastic.

    Sonos is the best in the world and everything they do and this AMP is no exception. I hook up some basic bookshelf speakers and a cheap AMP, you would have thought they were from the Magnolia department. With a very low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and the banana hook ups make this the Connected AMP to have. So have it. Fast.

    Works great as expected with the ease of use and installation as expected for a Sonos product. Sound is clear, no issues and unsurprisingly limited by the quality of the speakers you connect to the amp. I was impressed that the sound from my Sonos One speaker pair was just as good as the floor standing speakers so not much of an upgrade at this point but will probably prompt an upgrade to a nicer pair to take better advantage of bass response you can get with the extra size.

    Sonos Amp has made listening to music easy and fun. Easy cause I can now just pick up phone and play music from my in ceiling speakers. Fun because my kids love to have me listen to their new favorite song using their iPad.
