I am planning to set up a 5.1 surround system for my TV. I have a Beam 2nd Gen a Play 3, a Play 5 2nd Gen and Connect Amp. For the rear speakers should I use my Connect Amp and a couple of speakers or buy a second hand Play 3  and have 2 Play 3s as my rear speakers ?

You could use the Connect:Amp and power a pair of third-party speakers to use as surrounds with the Beam. Read more about it here:

Or you could get another Play:3 and use them as surrounds with the Beam.

Assuming that the Connect:Amp is on S2 setup currently, same setup as your Bean Gen 2, either of your two options would work.  It really comes down to what your prefer aesthetically, IMO.
