Connect:Amp to non Sonos speakers?

I recently moved into a house with an 11 room Sonos set up. The old owners left all the equipment except for 1 room, the living room, which would be the 12th room in the set up.

In that room, there are two Connect:Amps. One is for the speakers outside by the pool, the other is for that living room.

However, there are no more Sonos speakers in that room. So my question is, could I set up an older Pioneer system to that Connect:Amp without having to spend upwards of 1,000 bucks to properly outfit the room?

If it looks like either of these, they're passive speakers and you just need a pair of wires from the Connect:Amp to each speaker.

Choc,

Do your speaker have both RCA cables and a power cable? Some older, usually cheaper, passive speakers also have red and white RCA cables attached instead of speaker posts as pictured above. They'd usually be bundled with a stereo player/receiver that had RCA jacks instead of binding posts. To use them with a Connect:Amp you'd need to cut off the RCA plugs and strip the wires. If you don't want to do that, you can probably get cables with RCA plugs on one end and a pair of bare wires at the other end.

If you want to take a picture of your speakers and post, we can help.
