Thinking about expanding my Sonos system and looking for advice

Currently we have Sonos Move which lives in the kitchen and follows us to patio/ pool as well.  However there are many situations when we would like to have music in the kitchen and patio at the same time.  So I’m considering 2 options.

 

1.) buy a new Move that will live in the bedroom. When we want music on the patio we will bring this one out and still have the original Move in the kitchen.

 

2.) buy a new Five for the kitchen and shift the Move to the bedroom/ patio duty.
 

Any recommendations?  How much better would the sound in the kitchen bee with a Five vs Move?  Will the Five take up significantly more counter space in the kitchen?  Anything else to consider?

“Better” is in the ear of the listener. FIVE can deliver more bass and handle a larger area.

FIVE is larger than MOVE. You might want to mock-up the FIVE using a carboard box. Note that you can use FIVE in vertical or horizontal orientation. FIVE has a Line-In that could be used for turntable, CD player, etc. input.

The Five will sound much better, but for a kitchen speaker, the Move will be sufficient. A One might even work if you have a smaller kitchen.

Here are the dimensions for the Five:

Height: 8.03 in (203 mm)
Width: 14.33 in (364 mm)
Depth: 6.06 in (154 mm)
