Hello Sonos team.

To get right to the point, I have a very specific scenario that meets me quite often where I set up ultra high-end set ups for clients with systems consisting of two separate monoblock amplifiers for their speakers, (one for each channel,) or four separate monoblocks, (two for each channel. Sometimes even more.) I always upgrade their system to connect over WiFi using the Sonos port, simply because it’s the most ideal of your line of products in terms of what it allows my clients system to do. One of the reasons why clients want a port for each channel is to retain symmetry in the look of their system, as well as not having to have a little Sonos port sitting in between two massive amplifiers, as some people simply have their amps resting an inch above the floor. Giving them the ability to switch between either having their speaker play as left/right or mono using only their phone when one Sonos port is used for each channel would be incredibly helpful to these situations. Although, the reason I finally decided to write about this is due to the current client i am helping. He just purchased a handful of Sonus Faber speaker towers and just as many Krell audio monoblock   amps and wants to have just one paired with it’s own amp in each room he puts them in. For this to make sense, there would have to be mono speakers and of course, connected over WiFi as a multi room system. If it wouldn’t be too much, can you please please please add the function? Thank you for your time and sorry for any inconvenience.
