Sonos and existing gear

CapitalOne · 14 Nov 2015 at 10:35

Hello all

I currently have a play5 and 2 play3 in the kitchen and very happy with it. In the lounge I have a Cambridge Audio Azure 630 i think with the Tv, deck and cd player attached via phono jacks. I have 2 pairs of floorstanding speakers (via speaker wire) attached.

The amp has started to play up, so rather than just replace it Sonos is the way to go if possible.

Assume I know nothing, how do I sonos this system keeping everything bar the ropey amp?

Keep it under £1000 if possible!

Sorry title should be "existing!"

Thanks

Replace you amp with a Sonos connect amp:

And you're good to go. You can stream via your hifi speakers and you can also play your hifi sources via your Sonos devices.

Thanks for the reply, but how to connect up 2 pairs of speakers and 2 phono inputs and an optical?

It's quite tough to figure out what's best for you actually. The Sonos amp is pretty limiting.

You're probably best getting a standard amp and a Sonos connect (non-amp).

Thanks again - was what I was thinking

technically you wouldn't need your CD player once you have a Sonos connected. That'll save on inputs. Did you say you have a turntable? I don't think that could connect to the Sonos Amp anyway.
