Question

Add Play5 or Play1-which better for this situation?

Music only. Current set-up 2 paired play1's + sub. Big room & thinking of adding another play1 or a play5 at opposite end of room. Maybe play5 better because of extra bass. Any thoughts please?

    Two at a time balances any room then it just comes down to how many to do a room correctly. 2,4,6 etc depends on the size of the room. You are looking for total coverage so you don't have to crank up the volume on one side to cover the other. - Kris:)

    Thanks again Kris...after all your info I've decided to bypass 3 and go straight to 4 play 1's.
    Thanks again, and really like your name!

    My last word on this for anyone else going with this set-up is to take the time to adjust your speaker volumes to get the 'sweet spot' for where you sit to listen to your music...doesn't take too long and you'll know it when you get it!
