sonos amp integration

I have a three room set up , kitchen is an Arc, sonus amp and ceiling speakers for surrounds and gen 3 sub, Arcam Dac, iPad hard wired as controller. Small lounge Bose cinema 520 Arcam air Dac and Sonus port. My main lounge has a Denon 2200 AVR, Bowers and Wilkins in Wall front 3 speakers . Surrounds and height speakers in wall and ceiling . 
I am looking to make improvements to the main lounge as I am happy with the rest of the setup. 

I also have a single Sonus five and a move 1.I want to have the main lounge join the Sonus architecture and improve the sound quality too . Can a Sonus amp be used to power the front left and right speakers ?within the surround system ? Also could a Sonus subwoofer 4 then be connected to the main lounge ? Could I purchase another Sonus 5 and use a pair usefully within the main lounge too . If the amp option isn’t optimal , if a port is connected, could I then use a Sonus sub in the non sonus setup.

One possibility, if you want to experiment, is to connect AMP to the front analog output, any subwoofer through AMP, then add a delay of 75ms into all of the other DENON channels.

I did not investigate if DENON supports this. Good luck!

In a word: no. SONOS will not integrate with your main lounge system. As a minimum there will be time delays. There will also be operational quirks that you may be able to deal with instinctively, but completely frustrate a visiting aunt or uncle.

    Hi Buzz,

    That's what I thought, but was hoping. Looks like it’s a Port for the Sonus connection.

     

    Thx Terry

      Hi Buzz

       

      Do you think the amp would work as a power amp for the front left and right speakers from the stereo pre outs on the AV amp ?

      No, there will be an awkward time delay.
