Updating an old system

Over 10 years, we had a Sonos system set up in our kitchen. We have 4 in-ceiling speakers, which were wired to a SS20 2 Way parallel speaker Switch system, which was connected to the Sonos Connect Amp 1st generation, which was connected to a computer. Does anyone whether I should connect a Sonos Amp or Port to the Switch system, so we can access music through the phone? Probably a very basic system, but any knowledgeable guidance would be appreciated.

If you were using a CONNECT:AMP, the replacement would be the Sonos Amp.

If the switch system had its own amplifier, you could use a CONNECT or its current replacement of a Sonos Port.

How many speakers can be wired to one Sonos amp? We have 3 different old connect amps, one for each room, but each room has multiple in ceiling speakers. Obviously hoping to minimize the upgrade costs.

Hard question to answer definitively, generally 4 8Ohm speakers (two per channel). If the speakers are specific to the Sonance Architectural line, it could be 6 speakers. If the speakers are less than 8 Ohms, the number changes to lower, generally two, one per speaker post. Things change again if you use level matching switches.
