Connect wired to top end speakers. Care to share your experience?

Anyone care to share his/her experience? Sound quality, possible delays, anything worth while mentioning? Replacing my Arcam amplifier with the Connect should preferably not result in material, notable loss of sound quality. Because that will trigger disappointment and frustration.

    Only reason I can see for going with a Port and amplifier combo would be to get more power than the Sonos Amp. By more power I’m thinking roughly 4X to make much of an audible difference.

    The less efficient dB rating your speakers have the more the X in power needs to change to provide the same sound improvement.

    Testing at home is a really random as so many factors are involved a true test is near to impossible and you just end up deciding the stuff you like best sounds best anyway.

    Thx. Considering everything, I’d go for the favourably priced  Port, compared to the Amp, rather than replacing my Arcam Amplifier and making it idle.
