I'm planning a bar and want to setup a 5.1 system with a Playbar, Sub and either Play 1 or Play 3 rear speakers. The room is about 14x17 feet with 3 walls (back wall open). I plan to watch sports and play music, but nothing obscenely loud.
I'm wondering if the Play 3 will provide any additional benefit(s) from the Play 1 as rear speakers in this system? Is there an additional bass boost with the 3's?
Any opinions would be appreciated. TIA

Any additional thoughts here?
Is this purely a function of how loud you want to play your TV/music + how large your room is?
Is there any noticeable gain in terms of the surround sound by going to a Play3/5 over a 1 for the rears?

Personally j find the new play:5s as rears with the 5.1 setup is a VERY noticeable improvement over the play:1s especially for general music listening and also for the tv watching
Get 2 Play:1 speakers for your rears...and with the $200 saved over getting the Play:3s, get a 3rd Play:1 for another room. This is a no-brainer in my opinion.
The 1 units are all you need, there is no need to spend more on any other speaker. Bass needs will be adequately handled by Sub.
