Are you getting a tested Gen 2 unit, or an older S1-only model? At £100, this sits just above the £90 median from 215 comparable listings, comfortably within the normal market range (£57–£161), so it is fair rather than a standout bargain. For an untested or poorly described example, the price is less compelling; for a confirmed Gen 2, it is reasonable.
The Connect:Amp remains a very useful little streamer-amplifier: compact, dependable in a settled Sonos system, and capable of driving conventional passive speakers with multiroom control, line-in, subwoofer output, and wired networking. The key value point is software generation: Gen 2 brings S2 compatibility and generally commands more, while Gen 1 is limited to S1. Ask for the exact model, a power-on demonstration, working speaker outputs, and confirmation that it has been factory-reset before committing.

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.
