Thanks @kingchris, forgot about the code :smiley:

Still can't decide between this and a 1.

The conundrum I have is 2 x Play 1 is not much more if I did want extra.

I had the same dilema; i.e. 2 x Play:1's or a Play:3. I went for the Play:3 in the (noted on HUKD) deal from Curry's on Sunday (the same price as this). I'm pleased but yes, it's down to your budget I guess.

It is entirely up to you mate. That's why Sonos is so good - it offers great flexibility! issues to consider: do you have room and 2 sockets for 2 speakers? what is your budget? what is your room size? do you want to achieve good stereo separation with the speakers? where are you placing the speakers?
1x Play3 is more compact and robust than 2x Play1s, all down to you and your speaker placement

Damn you!
I already have a Play:3, Play:1 and Playbar......

Ideally if you have the room for 2 x Play 1's and the plug sockets etc (with enough space between them) I'd personally go down this route.

Play 3's are great for mid size rooms (I have mine in the corner of the kitchen and it sounds fantastic)

Not sure what you mean regarding robustness. Barring the Play 1 being dented (in the same way the Play 3 grill could be) there's nothing between them.

Actually, the Play 1 is the only humidity resistant speaker in the range, therefore if you plan to place them in the Kitchen or any where near a bathroom I'd suggest the Play 1 is a better choice.

I have 2x Play 3, both placed individually in bedrooms of good size. I also have 2x Play 1 paired as rear channels on my home cinema zone (Playbar and SUB).

Aesthetically i much prefer the look of the Play 1, it's a lot easier on the eye, particularly when mounted on some Flexson desk stands (see my deals, currently at Amazon on sale).

Sonically, there's very little to choose between them, and a Play 1 is more than capable of filling any room size unless you want your music party loud - for normal listening where you might want to hold a conversation or hear a phone ring it's more than ample. Where they differ is their presentation, the Play 1 is much better with highs, and produced good clear mids with a surprising amount of bass given the size. The Play 3 for me is a little less graceful with delivering the highs but produces good mids and better lows. So in that sense, it comes down to music choice, if you want great classical, stringed instruments and vocals, Play 1. If you want drums, Play 3.

If it's within your budget though, 2x Play 1 will vastly outgun a Play 3 when you factor Trueplay (read about it) and separation. I'd also say that 2x Play 3 grouped is somewhat overkill, so again it comes down to aspiration.

Another point to consider is that with the Play 1 being humidity resistant I use mine outside in the summer time with less fear of weather (not rain!) damaging the innards of the speaker.

Get a Play 1.

No contest in my mind.

I have both and due to the placement and stereo separation, IMHO paired P1's sound way better than a single Play 3.
