Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to add my B&W A7 wireless speaker to my Sonos system. I currently have a pair of Play5's in my kitchen and have my media room Naim/Linn amps/speakers accessed through Connect. The A7 is located on my 2nd floor next to my computer, Airport Extreme and Sonos Boost. Would be great if I could leverage the Sonos controller to play music on the A7.

The expensive way would be via a Connect wired to the line in on the A7. Worth trying only if you have one lying around unused.
I assume you are using the Airplay capability of the unit to play music today.
There appears to be an aux In on the back of the A7. You could run a cable from the audio out on the connect in to that aux in. Since it seems to be a headphone (3.5mm) jack, you'd have to get an RCA to 3.5mm cable, but that might do it for you.

There's no way to do it wirelessly, i.e. via wifi.
