Depends on what you mean as “use”. If you mean to group with a Ray to play in sync for music and slightly delayed for TV? Yes. If you mean for surround, you would need a pair of Play:3’s. You cannot add a single surround speaker to a Sonos soundbar.
I’d be going for the Sonos One SL to use as surrounds, they’re much more available since they are still being manufactured. And I can’t really tell any difference between mine (I own both). Probably cheaper, although I’m not sure where I would source a pair of PLAY:3s these days.
They both run S2, so they can be grouped. You’d need a second PLAY:3 if you planned on using the pair as surround speakers, though. Given that the PLAY:3 hasn’t been manufactured for many years might make that challenging.
Note that if grouped, the PLAY:3 will play the TV input to the Sonos Ray slightly delayed, but when streaming music, they’ll be in sync.
Thank you. Now I know I need to buy two.
Already found $100 each. Just wanted to make sure they would work
