The Sonos Amp + two built-in speakers with equivalent functionality is like $1,200. This lets you use a $100 speaker as that amp (or two of these setups for stereo sound) and then you can use much more reasonably priced built-ins that are still Sonos compatible. It's only useful if you're in the Sonos ecosystem, but it's pretty useful if that's the case.

The Sonos Amp isn't just the guts of this product marked up 5x. Either way, it's silly that Sonos doesn't have a simple un-amplified receiver for similar setups. Perhaps they are afraid consumers would get confused about non-amplified products given all their other products are amplified.
