Worth adding another Play 5 for stereo in a fairly small room ?

Hi thanks in advance for any advice given here.
Had a Play 5 for about a year and absolutely love the quality of sound it produces, hearing songs I've listened to all my life in a whole new dynamic.
I love in a fairly small house, living room is about 30 feet by 25 feet. Do you think I would be able to appreciate the stereo effect of a pair of Play 5's or would it be overkill in such a small room?
Thanks again for your opinions
Regards
Wayne

Good luck. Budget for a pair of stands too if you can. Enjoy!

Make sure that the speakers are safe from toppling over when on stands.

You also have another option, if your room forces the preferred listening position to be within 8-10 feet of the speakers: get a play 1 pair and increase music coverage in the home to another room by relocating the 5. The 5 pair will be better if you listen at a greater distance, but the 1 pair will always be better than a single 5.

    Well got my second play 5 set up on the flexson stands and ive got to say it was worth every penny now im listeneing ro the pair in stereo. Was worried that i would be wasting money by getting a second play 5 but i think the opposite is true, such a waste to spend so much on one speaker, two is much more than twice the value.
    Thanks very much for all the advice, you were so right ?

      Glad to hear you’re happy with your purchases. And I could’nt agree more. Lots of bucks, but the bang is more than twice the price!
