Is there any way to implement Summed Stereo (Dual Mono) to each of the Connect Amp output channels via software? I honestly don't know if it is even possible and for this reason I still have hopes. I currently have 2 separate outdoor zones (each one controlled by a different Connect Amp). When the speakers are relatively close to each other (like I have on my "Patio" zone where the ceiling speakers are 10ft apart) having separate stereo channels are not such big of a problem but when you have speakers far apart (like in my "Pool" zone where the speakers are 30ft apart) it becomes a major issue when listening to some musics. To be quite honest, even in my Patio, if you stand or sit right under one of the speakers, you don't have to be an audiophile to realize you are missing "some" of the content being delivered to the other speaker, and that is bothersome. But when you can barely hear the other speaker (due to its distance, like I have on each end of the pool) you realize that you are listening to only "half" of some musics, especially the ones which vocals or specific instruments are delivered to only one of the channels, and this would drive anyone nuts. I would love to hear from SONOS whether this issue is in their roadmap to fix one day. I know SONOS has just lauched the new Amp and Dual Mono is one of its features, but I really do not consider upgrading my hardware because of that. Lastly, if the control on the new Amp is done via software, it does not require a genius to re-use the new code implemented on the older firmware versions.
