Can i use one Sonos Amp for both speakers?

I used to have a sono's amp that powered both speakers but it wasn't loud enough for me. I replaced with a Denon amp and just use a sono's box for my music collection.

You wouldn't need to do it like that. Sonos has the app set up to where any sonos player connected to your network (either through setting up through wifi after updating it or Ethernet) can be synced. So if you have a sonos in your living room and one in your patio, you can have them grouped into playing the same music/apps or you can have one play the radio and the other play mp3 playlists for example. If you are talking about daisy chaining for connected more speakers, I believe it would be easier to just get a normal receiver (5.1 or 7.2) and then connect a Sonos Connect to it, that you can have as many speakers as the reciever allows while also utilizing the sonos

You could use one amplifier per speaker, but it won't be any better than plugging both speakers into one amplifier - it's 15 watts per channel, not 30 watts wherever, so leaving one side disconnected doesn't gain you anything on the other side. You also can't connect them together. That really shouldn't matter much, though. You don't actually have to run 30 watt speakers from a 30 watt amplifier - I've had this little amp hooked up to a pair of 100-watt speakers and it was just fine. You can't run the speakers to their maximum volume, but they run just fine at normal volumes. Remember, noise and power aren't linear, so 15 watts isn't half as loud as 30 watts. In fact, a mere 3 watts is half as loud as 30! 15 watts is enough to get your speakers fairly loud.

Depends on the connection you will use. If you were connecting this through the 3.5 M jack there then you might be able to get a splitter to feed both speakers. These sort of things are best managed by the sound card, so if your sound card can do multiple audio going out it will be simpler.

Yes. You can have a 5.2 front speaker bi-amp system with an output to one other zone--or a single zone, front speaker bi-amp 7.2 system.

Simply adding two more speakers to your system does not make it a 7.1. You risk burning up the amplifier by having speakers with mismatched impendences. Upgrading your speakers is great but speaker impedances have to match and your amp has to say it can handle that load. Far more bad scenarios then good for what you are looking to do.

As I recall there is no need to connect both the A&B; speakers to the input, I connected the amp's speaker A to the speaker selector input, then connected four pairs of speakers to 1 through 4 on the speaker selector, and nothing was connected to the output.

There is no evidence this unit supports anything like that. Sonos is the only one I know of that allows that.

Yes you can. Connect from Output on the first amp to the input on the second and so on.

no, the 321 line have been designed to use the speakers provided. I suppose if you had 2 pairs of speakers identical to the pair provided, you might be able to switch between the 2 pair if not running both at the same time which would raise or lower the ohms of resistance and fry the receiver.

Hi James. It will not be possible since this splitter will be connected to a single source. Whatever audio coming from the source will be shared on both outputs.

If you are talking about two different sound sources feeding into one set of speakers, I don't know about that. If you have two rooms, both with a set of stereo speakers that you want to wire for sound, but only have one stereo source, this device, properly installed, will allow both rooms to be on simultaneously, or either room on alone. And it works great.

The only reason for more than one bridge is if your wireless signal is not sufficiently strong in all parts of the house. I mistakenly thought that the Wi-Fi signal booster I was using for my home network would suffice. It does not. In this case, a second bridge is needed to boost the Wi-Fi signal to the Sonos speaker. Your clue will be that the speakers work fine when set close to the bridge that is hooked to the router, but they are not detected by the controller when moved away from the router. Solution: buy another Bridge and place it between the router and the speaker that is not being detected. You may have to add one bridge for each speaker if they are a long distance from the router.

You can use one but having both sounds better. Problems with connecting to blue tooth to both there should be a wired way to use both speakers

Yes... the reason one uses a unit such as this is so that the amp stays happy with all possible combinations of speakers... if you were to use just on-off switches for the controls, you would have a huge impedance mismatch once you had more than 3-4 speakers on... you still be will be limited by the size of your amp and the power needed for each speaker... if you are using this set up for mainly back ground music ... with volumes under "having to yell at each other" ... any reasonable amp will work...

You only need to purchase one or the other. Which one you get depends on what you will be connecting it to. The Sonos Connect is good for connecting to your amplified home theater or stereo. This is the one that I have because I needed to connect to my receiver. The Sonos Connect: Amp is good for connecting to your favorite speakers (in the absence of a receiver, home theater or stereo system). I hope that helps.

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.
