Each of the speakers requires that you also add the not-so-cheap Sonos Amp (A$999) that allow the Sonance Architecturals to connect to your system. This is in fact the main reason to buy the Sonos Amp, to allow you to connect <em>any<\/em> speaker and not just ones Sonos have formulated a partnership with.<\/p>\n<p>To further prove the point, the new speakers are also void of any voice services meaning they wont work with Amazon&#8217;s Alexa or (one day) with Google Assistant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonos.com\/en-au\/shop\/ceiling-speaker-pair.html\">In-Ceiling speaker pair<\/a> &#8211; A$899 (Feb 26th, 2019)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonos.com\/en-au\/shop\/wall-speaker-pair.html\">In-Wall speaker pair<\/a> &#8211; A$899\u00a0(Feb 26th, 2019)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonos.com\/en-au\/shop\/outdoor-speaker-pair.html\">Outdoor speaker pair<\/a> &#8211; A$1,199 (TBA)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonos.com\/en-au\/shop\/amp.html\">Sonos Amp<\/a> &#8211; A$999 (Available now)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sonos and Sonance partner to create custom-installed speakers that disappear into your ceiling, pulse with the power of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[482],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8524"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8524"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8527,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8524\/revisions\/8527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
