Best amp for 4 Sonos ceiling speakers?


Hi Guys,

Recently moved into a new home and there are 4 ceiling speakers from Sonos in the main room.
I'd like to make the best use of them for music, movies and parties :)
What's the best amp to buy for these? 
The specs for each speaker are:
Two drivers (1-inch tweeter, 6.5-inch woofer), 8 ohms, handling 130 watts maximum power, and 89dB SPL sensitivity. Frequency response is @ 44Hz to 20kHz.

I'd love to have a nice bass effect, and loud crystal clear sound.

Also, I'm on a budget and have zero tech savviness haha. 

What amp would you recommend? Would you recommend I add a subwoofer?

Thank yoiu so much!

there are many solid state amps that have strong ratings into 4 or 2 ohms, which is what is needed, as the numerous pairs of speakers playing simultaneously will draw a good deal of current

i use a b&k av1260 amp that has 12 channels (stereo sets x 6)... built for the purpose such as yours, driving distributed speaker sets all over the house and outdoors - cost effective and well built

sound quality is ok, the speakers are not wonderful sounding to start with, just play background music, don’t stress over the ’audiophile quality’ of the amp, it just needs to be tough, deliver current, stay relatively cool
