TV through Sonos
Discussion
I am considering moving to a Sonos system, but am not sure what to about the TV sound. The current set up is a Denon AV amp which has built-in AirPlay to play music from my iTunes library. This amp will automatically switch to the TV source when I turn the TV on, and back to AirPlay when required (the amp is hidden away so I never see it, controlled with Harmony RF).
The amp drives a pair of speakers (just stereo, no surround) which ideally I would like continue to use with both Sonos and TV. I've read that Sonos can introduce a delay to the sound, but would that still be a problem if the sound is only going locally to speakers attached to a Connect Amp, or via a Connect to an external amp? (i.e. it's not being sent not to other Sonos units)
Are there any other issues I should consider? Or alternatives?

Sorry, should have mentioned that there are other units around the house, hence the changing to Sonos. AirPlay works fine, but is limited in that I can't send different music to different rooms. It doesn't have to be Sonos - I'd consider other multi-room systems, but the Sonos stuff seems well regarded.
I want to keep using the existing stereo setup for the TV, and add a Sonos Connect to it (or maybe replace the amp with a Connect Amp), but the issue really is with using TV through a Sonos Connect to local speakers - will the delay be a problem? I don't want a soundbar under the wall-mounted TV. Can the Connect automatically switch to the line input when it gets a signal?
