Hey! I just upgraded to the Arc and have 2 Play 1’s for rears. I also have the new sub. Just wondering if jumping to the Sonos Fives would be worth it? I have a 16’ x 22’ movie room and I’ve read that the Fives are “too much” sound in smaller rooms. Thoughts? Thanks!

How close are you currently seated to your Play:1s?

10ft or so. They’re mounted on the wall near the ceiling

From that distance and mounted near the ceiling, I think the Fives could work. And you can always adjust the surround levels if they are too loud. Have you considered adding the second Sub?

 Yes, just was considering speaker upgrade first. I know the Fives are a good speaker, but would it be worth the investment in my room is my question
