Heresy 1979 power by Sonos amp

[Cajun Klipsch Fan]

Will the Sonos 2 channel amp power a pair of Heresy’s well enough?  Does anyone have experience with this or heard any play with this setup. 
 

thanks for any advice.

Welcome to the forum. I just watched a video on the amp. It should work and have plenty of umph.  These small amps can work well for space constraints and WAF.  Do you have a Sonos system. There are other small amps that can power your speakers.

I don’t currently have a Sonos pre amp. But I use the Sonos move and Sonos one at our office so I am familiar with there products. 
 

Do you recommend another pre amp for the Heresy. Mine are 1979. I am trying keep using them with the modern networking- Bluetooth - Voice commands- etc. I just don’t want to sacrifice its performance to much with a smaller amp. I have a 1995 HK 60 watt 2 channel and the herersy runs great. I wast just doubtful that those newer compact amp would match up well with the vintage power??

i would not use a sonos amp with your heresys -- i don't think it would be a good match.  you're better off with what you have matched with a sonos "pre amp".

Are you saying stick with the Sonos amp with Sonos speakers? Or you saying that Sonos amp won’t work well for the Heresy? 
 

If not a Sonos Amp then what other 2 channel amp should I use that has similar network, Bluetooth, Alexa, type features. 

thanks for any help:)

the sonos amp will work, but the hk amp you mentioned would be better with the heresys.  plug a sonos port into the hk and enjoy. an even better option would be to use a bluesound node for the same money.

Look into the Wiim Amp. It will work better than Sonos products and handles most streaming platforms, has a good DAC for additional digital sources and even has a Phono pre, iirc.
