i have two gen 1 play 5’s
I’m thinking of adding a sonos Sub gen 1.
My question is would the results be better than buying two of the latest 5’s ?
Mainly listening to dance, Heavy bass type music. BUT also a lot of indie, Smiths, Joy Division, New order, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies
Any thoughts ?
I don’t know new Fives will sound that much better than Play:5 and Sub. Get the Sub, but anticipate the life expectancy of the old speakers too. Also check what Sub versions are compatible: are you running S1 or S2?
If you add the Sub Gen1 you’re buying into more old tech. Go for the Fives or Era 300’s as current product. Then sell the old :5’s and see if that covers cost of a Sub/Sub Mini.
To bring down the cost you might consider two pre-owned Play:5s (gen 2) rather than Fives, or two Era 100s with a Sub Mini
