Hi everyone,

I have a Sonos Connect and 2 decent mordaunt short speakers. What do people recommend as an amp to link it all up? Happy to buy used...

Thanks

I'm not very familiar with Sonos equipment. Isn't the Connect an amp?

As for an amp to match you speakers, what model are they, and what sort of budget are you thinking.

Personally if you like the Sonos feature set and how it works id purchase the Sonos amp and cut right down on your box count.

Amp: The Wireless Streaming Speaker Amplifier | Sonos

With an output of 125 watts per channel, an HDMI input to connect your TV, Apple AirPlay 2 capability and a striking compact form factor that fits standard AV racks, the new Sonos Amp is quite simply our most versatile and most powerful wireless amplifier yet.

www.sonos.com

can be had for £450-499 I believe.

but there are many affordable amps from rotel, Yamaha, NAD, Marantz (probably be my first port of call with mordant short speakers)

They're Mordaunt Short 902 bookshelf speakers. I have the Sonos Connect which needs an external amp plugged in too. Cheers.

Thank you. Yep, looking for something used on eBay for £100 / 150 mark. I'm assuming anything from those brands would be good quality?

For sure! just don't go to old. 5-10 years Rotel and marantz budget offerings are amazing from the early 2010's

Brilliant, I'll focus on those two brands. Thank you!

I think the Connect has a variable line level RCA output (from memory) so could you go two Fosi monoblocks which get raved about. Or use the Connect as your "pre-amp" with the Connect in fixed line level out into a Fosi V3.

Did I see on another reply that you are looking around £150? At that price I wouldn't look far beyond Marantz
