Two Roams or One Five

Hi, I just wanted to ask for thoughts - is it better to get two Roams as a stereo pair or one five in stereo? 

I’m guessing the five has better sound but not really a whole lot of separation of audio...or do you think otherwise? 

I saw a thread on here about buying a Port or a five for a turntable and I bought a Port and now I’m using two Roams to listen to music in my office but now I’m thinking damn, maybe I should have just bought a five for everything (knowing i still need a preamp and line in)….

I’d say that sums it up pretty well.  And stereo separation is great when you are sitting in the best listening position, listening carefully, but not otherwise (IMO).  Of course the Roams offer other things as well, like Bluetooth and portability, so it depends on what you want from the whole package.

I often advise people who want a Port just for line-in to consider a Five instead.  IMO the Five is generally a better buy in those circumstances.
