I am looking to upgrade my system by add the PLAYBAR. I currently have the connect amp which is connected to some book shelf speakers. To cut down on space and clutter I want to pair the connect amp to the PLAYBAR. This is so that I can play records through the PLAYBAR.

Can I pair both device wirelessly?

Is there a better way to pair these together than what I am thinking? I can not move the CONNECT AMP to the PLAYBAR, there is no shelf for the AMP.

Thank you Bruce. So just to recap, as long as the C:A or Sonos Connect (using a third party amplifier wired to additional speakers) is configured to be " surround sound speakers" there shouldn't be a delay between the P:B and the C:A or rather P:B and Sonos Connect system? I'm trying to use my Sonos Connect speaker system throughout my house, which has an amp already, to be used as "surround speakers" in a P:B home theater. Thank you again.

The Sonos Connect cannot be bonded as surround speakers. Only the Connect:Amp can, and there has to be a wired Ethernet connection between the Playbar/Playbase and the Connect:Amp.

As jgatie says, it must be a Connect: Amp, not a Connect. IMHO, it really was a hack that Sonos developed for all the people who couldn't get past already installed wall mount surrounds. I wouldn't want to do this unless I absolutely had to.
