I plan to use Sonos amp to drive my JBL l100 MKII speaker, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate and if it can fully utilize the speaker's capabilities.
Do you have any friends with experience in this area? Please advise.

Sonos Amp to drive JBL l100 MKII speaker
Best answer by Airgetlam
Near as I can tell, it’s listed here. I’d think they’d be fine with a Sonos Amp, a bit less so, but still OK with an older Sonos CONNECT:AMP, due to the power differences.
Do you have a link to the speakers datasheet?

Thanks for the link.
90 dB is decent efficiency.
The 25-200 Watts power spec is usually worthless to the user.
The 4 Ohms is good news as it let's the Sonos Amp deliver 250 Watts to it.
Specs:
sensitivity: 90 dB
power handling: 25-200 watts
impedance: 4 ohms

Several reports indicate that the impedance dips to 3.5 Ohms. This can fluster CONNECT:AMP. AMP tolerates speakers like this very well.
This may seem a little technical for some viewers, but here is one such speaker report.
Thank you all for responding to my questions.
I am in China, and if I really use the combination of Sonos amp and JBL l100, I will also share my experience here.
I have set up my home theater system and HIFI system. I gave up the traditional home theater system and switched to a soundbar with rear surround sound and subwoofer, model Samsung HW-Q990F. My HIFI system is made using classic speakers (JBL L100 Classic Black Edition), turntable (Technics SL-1200M7L, 50 years anniversary SL-1200 Series), and Sonos amp. At present, both the home theater and HIFI system are working well, and I am very satisfied. Perhaps we will continue to upgrade these systems in the future to improve sound quality.My other vinyl turntable deon DP-400 is currently for sale in the second-hand market.
