Hey, about 2 years ago i bought a Play 5 gen 2 with the thoughts that i would some day buy one more to pair them together. 

Now a bought a Sub gen 3, a playbar and a Sonos Five.

Since sonos said the Play 5 and the Sonos Five were almost identical i thought it was obvious that they would pair and be usable together for a surround setup. 

I cant get them to pair, do i really need to buy another Sonos Five to finish my surround setup?

 

I was so hyped by my purchase but this turned me off so much

You can always return your Five and get a matching used Play:5 from eBay or Mercari.This would actually save you some money too.

Hi.  Have Sonos said that the two speakers are almost identical? I don’t recall reading that myself, but obviously I may have missed it.  Do you have a link / reference?

There is a third party app called something this SonosSequrncr that claims to allow different Sonos speakers to be stereo paired or used as surrounds.  Otherwise, you need two identical Sonos speakers.
