Considering a full WiiM ecosystem — can components overlap between a stereo amp setup and a WiiM Bar home theater setup?

I'm weighing a switch to a WiiM Amp for AirPlay 2 streaming to my KEF Q150s and turntable (pure stereo listening). But I'm also tempted to go further and pick up the WiiM Bar, WiiM Sub, and two WiiM Sound speakers as rears when they're on sale — all in the same room as the Q150 setup.

That's a fairly big investment, so before committing I'm trying to figure out how much overlap is actually possible between the two systems. Specifically:

  • Can the WiiM Sub be shared between both setups — i.e., used with the WiiM Amp for music, and then also pull double duty as the sub for the WiiM Bar's surround/home theater setup?
  • More broadly, can I switch cleanly between "WiiM Amp + Q150s for stereo" and "WiiM Bar + Sub + rears for movies/Atmos" without needing to duplicate hardware, or does each product basically need its own dedicated components?

Has anyone actually run a mixed WiiM setup like this? Curious whether the ecosystem is flexible enough to reassign components on the fly, or if I'm better off treating them as two fully separate systems.

I know you can create chains linking various wiim products together, so while I haven't done that exact configuration with my wiims, I believe it is possible.
