Small amplifier?

[jdb264c]

Hi

I'm buying the Sonos ZP-80 system, and thus I need one or two amplifiers. Since the ZP-80 is small, I'd really like some advice/suggestions on amplifiers which are a bit smaller than the regular full-size-ones. I know this is an audiophile site bit in my case design are at least as important as sound quality

Consider the Parasound ZAMP v3. This amplifier is half the size of standard amplifiers.
I believe you can find them at:

To drive what speakers? The Audiosource amps are pretty good for the prices they are going for and should be able to handle most average speakers. Check U-bid for them used/refurb fairly cheap.

I have no speakers for the system yet, the only speakers I have are Alesis Monitor One but that's more like studio reference monitors.
