Two rear speaker pairs or zones

Recently we added another couch to our living room and now only one sitting area has rear speakers. I would like to see the ability to add another rear speaker pair.

DenverOps,

Yes, i believe it was stated in the thread, when the new Sonos Amp was announced a few weeks ago, that the new Sonos Amp will drive four 8 ohm speakers (per Amp) upto 125w per channel, so four front and four rear, that’s if two Amps are used for Home Theatre purposes ... obviously with one sub.

The 'main' front Amp connecting to the TV over HDMI-ARC and producing a phantom center channel.

Also, as Chris states, there will no longer be any need to have the new rear Sonos Amp cabled, it will simply work over WiFi. Your older CA will still need to be wired as it doesn’t have a much needed 5ghz radio built into it.

That type of multi-speaker setup perhaps would sound good if a user maybe has 4 ceiling speakers aswell as 4 standalone passive ones in appropriate positions in the room. Not that I would ever need that sort of output in my modest sized lounge at home.
