First post here. I am definitely not a Sonos expert so I am going to try and articulate this (probably simple) question as best I can!
So right now I have 2 ancient Gen1 ConnectAmps that power 3 rooms and 2 zones. To be more specific, I have one zone called “Patio” with wired speakers connecting to the first ConnectAmp and a second zone called “Kitchen / Diving Room” that connects the wired speakers in both those rooms (operating as basically a combined zone) to the second ConnectAmp.
What I would like to do is purchase 2 new Sonos amps, keep one of my old ConnectAmps, and basically move the currently combined zone to its own individual zone. That would mean putting Kitchen as Zone 1 on the new Amp, Dining Room as Zone 2 on the second new Amp, and then leaving Patio as its own Zone on the old ConnectAmp.
That seems pretty basic to me, but the more I read the more confused I become so wanted to ask the question here. Is that a viable option? In theory, I don’t see why that would not work, but I have some lingering concerns about trying to run a Gen1 / S1 piece of equipment on the same network...using the same app...as the new S2 stuff. Is that even possible? Am I thinking of this the right way?
For what it’s worth I am also going to grab a couple of Sonos One speakers and add in a couple of new wireless zones, but I doubt that is relevant for my main question.
Thanks for any info you may provide. Appreciate it.
