Question

Existing speakers with Sonos Amp

Hi all - I have a wired speaker system in my house currently - Sony receiver and Polk speakers - two floor speakers, one center channel, and one subwoofer.

I’m looking into getting the Sonos Amp, primarily so that I can utilize my existing setup and add wireless outdoor speakers for my patio.

My thought was that with the Sonos amp, I would no longer need my Sony receiver. However, it looks like the Sonos amp only has inputs for front speakers and sub - nothing for a center channel. So if I replace my receiver with Sonos, do I lose the center channel? And is there any point to keeping the Sony receiver if I get Sonos?

Thanks!

    You will need 16 gauge cable to wire those to the Amp and a power source for each speaker.
    They're conventional passive speakers. No "power source", only the signal from the Amp.
