Only valid on unopened, sealed items. There are a few subtle differences that the Play 5 has over the Play 3. This is things like in-built humidity resistance, which makes the Play 5 a more durable and long lasting option in comparison to the smaller speaker.
With this size comes a a big improvement in terms of audio quality. There are some dramatic differences that make the Sonos Play 5 the better in terms of performance. Much of this is down to the actual hardware and components of the speakers itself. Now, the Play 5 has 3 tweeters, whereas the Play 3 only has one tweeter. And again, the Play 5 has three mid-woofers, whereas the 3 only has two. It also has double the amount of amplifiers.
This is available with both of these Sonos Play models. So, what does all of this information tell us overall? Well, quite a lot actually. It shows us that;. Play 5 is the best of the three but also the most expensive. In terms of the most bang for your money i'd say its a sub and 2 1's. If you have large room to fill or budget is not an option then a sub and 2 5's.
The 3 is in an odd position at the moment as it sits between 2 very capable speakers and also the only one that has not been updated yet. While in itself its a good unit, i've always felt the 3 usually appeals to users who needed something beefier than the one but find the price point of a 5 too high or the dimensions too large.
I hope that helps some. I agree that the 3 is caught in the middle with consequent limited appeal. I Just got a single Play 5 and a sub and can personally say it sounds amazing. I'm now saving up to get a second Play 5 to get that stereo separation. Regardless of what you pick, the sub does an incredible job of creating depth of sound. A stereo pair with the sub would give you a lot of great separation and range.
The 5 versus 3 question is a good one, I have both so maybe I can help. The Play 5 is the way to go without a sub if you want full range music. With a sub the 5 is really good except for the stereo separation, there a pair of 3s is superior. Comparing my paired 3s to a single gen 1 or gen 2 Play 5s without a sub comes out pretty close but the 5s have a bit more low end. Play 1s are good but just not as good as a 3, paired the 1s are pretty decent.
I'd say pair the 3 too or you'll get tired of mono sound for any serious listening fairly quickly. I'm currently planning a multi room setup for a store and have been going over the "One vs 5" debate.
The larger room 27' x 25' will have either 4 x Ones or 2 x 5s. Which setup do you think will offer the customer a more a seamless "blanket" of music as they shop?
