I have a play 5 in a fairly large room- I am asking advice on buying another play 5 and making a stereo pair or getting a sub woofer? Any advice appreciated.

But if you were contemplating getting a Sub, the net cost of selling a gen 1 and buying two gen 2s would not cost any more.

Does that not beg the question as to which would deliver the better sound though?! I suspect it may be the old gen 1 pair + Sub - without much personal experience in support of that, I have to say.

I never heard a gen 1 pair with a Sub. But I can say that a gen 2 pair is substantially superior to a gen 1 pair when neither has a Sub. You are more future proofed with gen 2. 5GHz wireless, built in microphones, option to add Sub later still there.
I can't tell you which you would prefer and how to spend your money. Buy from Sonos, try it, return it for full refund if you don't think the improvement is worthwhile.

I am having same situation. I am having p5g2 but as soon as I turn the volume up bass decrease and sound become pinchi.
I want to upgrade to p5 pair + sub by next year mid.
In mean time what should I buy?
Sub or p5. Want room full of sound and bass
(sorry for my English)

Choose between stereo sound and bass to decide buying sequence - no one else can decide that choice for you. I would get the second 5 first.
