Watts mean nothing in a closed amp/speaker system.  You could have 10 Watts powering very efficient drivers and it will outperform 100 Watts into inefficient drivers.  Additionally, without distortion measurements at various frequencies, Watts are useless even if you were powering your own passive speakers.  All this is why Sonos doesn’t bother publishing meaningless specs.

Sonos does not publish these specifications, so it’s hard to get reliable figures.
