This category is leaning slightly toward a buyer’s market, and at £157 this one sits above the £89 median and just under the £159 75th percentile, so it reads as a touch ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not out of line enough to dismiss, but I’d want some real upside in the package to justify paying near the top of the usual asking range.
A Connect:Amp is still a very practical piece: it gives you Sonos streaming plus amplifier duties in a compact box, which makes it a neat way to revive passive speakers or build a simple whole-home setup. If it’s clean, fully working, and comes with the original PSU and any needed accessories, that helps; if not, the price should soften a bit because there isn’t much room here for unknowns.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonos emerged from Santa Barbara, California, in 2002 as Rincon Audio, Inc., founded by John MacFarlane, Craig Shelburne, Tom Cullen, and Trung Mai. MacFarlane's success with Software.com provided crucial seed funding for their audacious goal: a wireless multi-room music system free from the wires and complexity plaguing home audio at the time. Renamed Sonos in 2004, the company debuted its pioneering ZonePlayer and controller in 2005, cementing its roots in innovative, user-centric sound technology.
The brand specializes in wireless speakers, soundbars, and home theater systems designed for seamless multi-room playback and integration with streaming services. Sonos offers everything from portable Bluetooth options like the Roam to high-fidelity architectural speakers and subwoofers, alongside recent forays into headphones and whole-home audio solutions. Amplifiers, turntables, DACs, and cables fall outside their core focus, which prioritizes app-controlled ecosystems over traditional hi-fi components.
Sonos holds a commanding mid-to-premium position in the consumer audio market, renowned for inventing wireless HiFi and setting the standard for effortless, high-quality sound. Trusted by audiophiles and casual listeners alike, it blends accessibility with sonic excellence, dominating the smart speaker segment while appealing to discerning buyers seeking scalable, future-proof systems.
