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

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.

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.
