I’ve got Sonos Amp + Sub with a pair of KEF Q150. Looking to replace the Q150 with Beolab 18. How can I connect?
Currently, I use the Sonos Amp with TV for Disney+/Netflix and Spotify for music. Thanks.
Beolab has toslink and RCA.

Amp is the wrong product, you will need a Sonos Port.

The Port is the correct product, however… You can use a device that steps down the amplified signal to a line level signal, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Russound-ADP-1-2-Speaker-level-Line-level-Adapter/dp/B01KYHD5SC/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3M94Q19NQULUR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vr_4rW80V1lgCUrg5GhiiMrdJGZQGf22hU4dJRofqEWRGwwA2ZqX6cMj8yWJ6ZiHc7n9sPiYsjtQR8rLjyHLdbBYGZyFcAESjMtt84RpwS26pVWIy-sb2zRZdLnHY6Ev7OpuktNPaMed6_UmwfVfTXroqQaQ7v-sWcN_TG0gmJlQ4TgVquRy03aYUsO3srWHa5mMHnOHFFTvTzowA5Y59omAM9JQkxvGBE-xNmmeKpk.cbhsYaizmqoKkruAgHeXncevYaQfjx3Gt9eUZx6-ivs&dib_tag=se&keywords=speaker+to+line+level+converter&qid=1721130908&sprefix=speaker+to+line+level+converter%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-4
The problem with this device is the amount of power it is designed to handle, and I can’t find a spec on it. Your Amp’s output is rated at 100 w/ch, which is a lot for one of these converters. I have to point out the correct way to do this, given the large investment in the Beolab 18’s, is to replace the Amp with a Port, and connect the Port to the Speakers with RCA cables. Honestly it’s a little crazy to cut corners when you’ve invested what it takes to buy the 18’s.
You guys are so resourceful! Thanks! Love my Amp + Sub (and beam in bedroom). Probably I should go for other passive speakers instead of the Beolab 18.
