@sammutd88 . I wish I had the knowledge and understanding of the Sonos system and software that you must have to make such comments with total confidence. Thank you for providing these insights.

Hi John,

I tell it how it is. Much of the Sonos “brains” is in software. All the products have a similar hardware interface for connectivity.  By limiting the product, it drives sales of other speakers and multiple Amps. 
You either work for Sonos, or are a massive fan, which is fine, Sonos make many good products, but people also deserve to know the facts when they’ve dropped $1000 on an Amp that does very little with all it’s inputs and outputs. Rather than an attitude of “if Sonos could I’m sure they would….”. I apologise if I offended you, but maybe it’s what Sonos need to see that people are unhappy with a product that COULD offer so much flexibility. For $1000,  requesting the Amp be able to be 2 virtual “rooms” in different configurations is not a big ask when the speakers and hardware can be connected as such. 

HERE - HERE!  Should be a simple switch.  Heck, I would even be OK if I could do it on my phone with a couple steps - I just don’t want to factory reset the amp, press the join button, etc.  The Amp is tucked away behind everything and I have to pull out the the TV, etc. to get at things.
