Frequency Response Charts

Does Sonos publish frequency response charts for their speakers anywhere? He’s my conundrum, I just updated my home office, and right now I have one Play:Five Gen 2 in here. 

I’m considering either putting in two Five’s or two Era 300’s. 

I tried out spatial audio with Apple HomePod’s and found them less than thrilling compared to the single Five. My fear is the Era 300’s will be the same way. But I did like the spatial audio quite a bit in my space. 

So what I’m trying to figure out is if adding a Sub Mini or Sub would fill the gap in frequency response that some of the early reviewers have mentioned the Era 300 has in comparison to the Five. Or if I really need to get the Five’s to get the high-fidelity music at the expense of spatial audio.

Honestly I wish the Gen 3 was available in a Matte finish 🤣

Where music play is concerned, the classic definition of a good sub still holds: one should not realise it is playing when it is, but it should be missed if it isn’t. A corollary is that it need not be seen as well, so the finish should not matter! Mine is covered by a dust cover that is transparent to sound, so again, the finish is not relevant.
