Would adding a new Play 5 to a play bar be better than adding a subwoofer?

Using Sonos play bar with two Play 1s. Instead of investing in a Sonos sub, I was wondering if the bass on a new Play 5 would do the trick.

Whether it would be deep enough or not is missing the point, for TV listening the play:5 would be out of sync with the Playbar, so would sound very annoying. You can't do what you're proposing unfortunately.

Go for the Sub it adds so much to the Playbar!
My Sonos system is rock solid 100% of the time and your system should be too!

If you’re a vocal, classical music listener then I’ll recommend you to add the Play 5. But if you’re a movie enthusiast, then the sub woofer is a must for you!
