Does the CONNECT Amp need to be hard wired to network with ethernet cable or can it access network via wifi (as the Sonos One does)?
Depends on what you are using it for. If it's just music, then no connection needed, it has a wifi card (2.4Ghz) . If you're using it for Surround speakers with a Sonos soundbar, then yes, it needs to be hard wired.
Connect Amp can do Standard Mode, using WiFi or Boost Mode using Ethernet.
Will the connect amp be powerful enough to power

How efficient are the speakers and how loud do you want to play them?
