Hey, I have an exisitng non sonos sytem (turntable, amp, powered speakers). I have a sonso sub I would love to add to the system. Can i do this using the Port, or do I need to get the Amp? Shame to buy another amp just to add the Sub, when my current Amoplifier is amazing. Any way around this?

Hi. You cannot add a Sub to a Port so that is out. An Amp is possible,  but effectively makes the cost of adding a Sonos Sub £/$1300 yet only achieves a compromised result.  You would not have a proper crossover and ir might be tricky balancing volumes between your speakers and the Sub.

Personally I wouldn't do it but it's your money.
