Sonos beam +sub or beam +play 5 gen 2.

Currently have the beam and 1 play 5 gen 2 .
Toying with idea to sell the play 5 and get the sub.
Would love views of the experts on here.

    Well - you don't even have the Beam paired with the Play:5 just grouped and that's not a good combination.

    Yes Beam and Sub would be better combination. However I think for the Beam to truly shine it needs sub and pair of Ones.

    The Playbar/Playbase on the other hand can hold their own with just a sub.
