What will you benefit from paying extra for the new SONOS AMP

Sonos shipped its very first product—the ZP100 amplifier—way back in January 2005, later succeeded by the not-radically-different ZP120 (later rebranded as the Connect:Amp).The Sonos Connect Amp has been around for over 10 years now, so Sonos has redesigned the device and added more power in the form of 125 watts per channel up from 55 watts.

So, What New.
1. The Connect amp wasn’t optimized for TV, so Sonos has rectified this by taking the HDMI Arc module out of the Sonos Beam and put it into this new amp. It also has an IR receiver so it can control your TV, too.
Sonos Amp has been designed to work well for home theater audio as well as music playback. The Connect Amp and its predecessors had been built specifically for multiroom audio.
2. Sonos Amp is twice as powerful as the Connect:Amp with the ability to power four speakers with 125 watts per channel.
3. It supports AirPlay 2
4. This amp can be connected to your TV to get a 2.0 stereo and creating a phantom centre channel. For surrounds it can pair with 2 units of Play1’s, Sonos one’s or Play5’s.
5. This amp and be connected to your TV to get a 4.0 stereop pair it with another sonos amp for surrounds.
6. Amp fit in a standard component rack, which is often hidden out of the way in a side room or closet.
