Sonos Port as a transmitter to Sonos Port as a Receiver?!

Morning all

I’m not sure if this is an extreme use case, but please hear me out:

 

I have a turntable and streamer+DAC combination connected to a headphone/pre-amp analog-in, which in turn has analog outputs to a Sonos Port. This is fine for listening to either digital or analog sourced music through my Sonos speakers, wherever they may be.

However, I also have a set of passive speakers connected to monobloc amps (1 amp per speaker, L&R) and I was wondering if I connected my monobloc’s to a Sonos Port (potentially one Port for each monobloc), could I in theory send an audio signal from the Sonos Port connected to my headphone/pre-amp, wirelessly to the Port’s connected to the monobloc’s, these Port’s acting as a preamplifier to the monobloc’s, thereby allowing my passive speakers to effectively be active speakers, but of somewhat higher quality than a Sonos smart speaker?

I am of course presuming that the music signal is at least CD quality/lossless and not compressed and that the Sonos Port’s (if one each connected to a monobloc) can be configured to operate in stereo.

Yes you can  group your current Port with a new Port for sound to your monoblock amps. If the monoblock amps are together, why not simply use a single Port (L&R outputs) for signal to both amps? This will give you the stereo separation you are looking for. A Sonos Port cannot be configured to be a left channel or right channel. It is designed as a stereo device.
