Can the new Sonos Amp be used as a 3.1 system?

i have three non smart paradigm speaks are left, right and centre channels, and a paradigm base subwoofer that are connected to a Denon AMP for sound for the TV.

i want to run this setup through the new Sonos AMP but it looks like it is only a  2.1 system.

the reason being I have 4 Sonos One’s throughout  the house for music and want to use my Paradigm system with my Sonos system.

 

So can the Sonos AMP be used as a 3.1 system?

Also if I loose the centre channel how will it sound out of two speakers, I hear the Sonos AMP has a way of making it sound like there is a centre channel?

 

Have you considered keeping your Denon and getting a Sonos Port to connect it to your Sonos?

I used this setup for many years until we downsized to a Beam and Sub combo.

No, the Sonos Amp does not have a physical center speaker capability, so it would only be a 2.1 physical device. It does create a virtual “phantom” center speaker, using the right and left speakers.
