- alkonaut 2y agoNeeding cables between a "streamer" box and my amp, and then cables from the amp to the speaker(s) already makes it a whole different category of gadget from Sonos. The key thing Sonos sells is the single power cable setup. Wiim does sell an amp model that removes one of the steps. That's probably the one I'd go for if I accepted speaker cables. Less waste reduction BUT at least you don't have the separate amp volume knob and power switch to worry about.
