I am planning to replace all my wired speakers (except one outside pair) and my Marantz amp with the Sonos system.  I have an AKAI reel-to-reel which I would like to keep and have functioning.  How can I do this with a Sonos system?  How do I push Sonos through my outdoor wired speakers?  thank you

You can use an Amp to power the outdoor speakers. Make sure the speakers can handle 125 watts each if you intend to turn up the volume at times.

The Amp has a set of RCA inputs that you can use for the reel to reel, but if you wanted to use it more indoors, make sure you purchase components that have line in or are able to use a line in adapter. for audio indoors.

The reel-to-reel is indoors and will be used indoors, but want to pump the sound through the Sonos speakers which are also inside, and the outside Bose speakers which are wired.

A SONOS Line-In can be played in any combination of Rooms. The output of the tape deck can be connected to any convenient Line-In.
