Sonos amp was my first amp. Later on I bought tube amp that completely destroyed Sonos amp in almost all areas, but I still use it for home cinema and I don't plan to depart from it because you can add two one SL speakers as rears and that's amazing feature to have :)
I have the Sonos amp with two One SL speakers as well and the surrounds are the main reason why I keep it, for watching movies. I do wish these other streaming amps would allow surrounds too
Marantz is 200£ more expensive but Denon looks exactly the same inside. Only Marantz comes with 5 years warranty Denon 2 years anyway most Uk retailers offer 6 years extended warranty for free. Are They sound the same?
Eco-friendly? Manufacturing cardboard emits more CO2 than foam which better absorbs shock. So, M1 for me. Seeing the Denon Home Amp is out I've heard some anecdotal information it is inferior to the M1 as far as component quality goes at $200 less. Owner Masimo says there are significant differences between them. How that works out sonically is anyone's guess until a comparison is done.
Sonos LOL I give them a few more years if they don’t sort there software out - people have been hugely let down by Sonos - 2024 there is so much better out there with better support.

Denon Home Amp vs Marantz Model M1 please!
Can you compare the M1 compared to the Wiim Amp that everyone's raving about?
How do these compared to Power Node?

The Sonos Software Debacle 2024 has not helped their cause..
It's ok to blink a little every now and then

M1 is better for TV Audio as have
HDMI eArc,
Dolby Digital Plus,
Dialogue Enhancer,
Subwoofer Crossover
Sonos Amp can do exactly the same. And Sonos is a much more flexible system.
