Question

What to get?

I have a playbar paired with 2 play1's. I'm wondering what would be better for listening to music. Getting a sub or taking back my play1's and exchange for 2 play3's??

    Get a Sub and add it to your Playbar/Play 1 set-up to get proper Dolby 5.1 surround. Make sure in the advanced audio settings you have it set to "Full" under Music Playback.

    2 x Play 1s with Sub are excellent for music (I have this set-up) and easily the equal if not better than 2 x Play 3 (certainly for Bass). And the Play 3 are overkill for surrounds.

    Get the Sub.
