Hi guys, i am going to Sonos route and setting up a 2.1 system in my bedroom. I am trying to decide between the following:

Pair of Sonos Play 3 + sub
Pair of Sonos Play 5 + sub

From what I understand, the Play 5 when hooked up to the sub defeats the sub in the play 5. So my question is, would there be any improvement with going with the Play 5 in this setup over the Play 3.

Yes as the play 5 plays louder by a good margin. If you do not need the line in capabilities of the Play 5 I personally would get 2 Play 1's and the Sub. If you look at the Sonos forums the Play 3 is kind of the bastard child of the Play line since the Play 1's were introduced.

WOW!!! I didn't know that the Play1 were that good.
