I have a playbar & boost for my smart tv in family room, should my next purchase be the subwoofer or 2 Play 1 speakers, can't do both now

Do you want better music sound or surround sound? I'd base my decision on that

Personally I reccomend purchasing the 2 play 1 speakers, then the subwoofer. I hope this helps

Well I would say that's a personal preference. I have a setup with just a playbar and sub and another setup with a playbar, sub and 2 play 1's. I don't notice much of a difference to be honest. The playbar and sub are amazing. I would definitely recommend the sub next, no question.

I would say depends if you use the item everyday/constantly as your sound for your surround. Or if you use surround/theater occasionally. If the latter I would use `on/off` , if you use it often or primarily the auto would be the way to go in my opinion. Plus is the sub easy to get to? Auto is great if its behind furniture or out of reach,etc.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

ChrisI have the same situation, the sub is in the far corner of my combined kitchen / family room, to the far left of my TV and sound bar. The location in the room makes no difference as far as I can tell. In fact the setup menu lets you adjust the sub for location, but I just leave it on the default which sounds great.I am planning to get on remote speaker to sit behind me in the kitchen so I will have full surround sound.Good luck to you!

All speakers are sold by the "pair" unless otherwise noted. A subwoofer would be the exception. Hope that helps you out!

get a samsung sound bar... or get a receiver and klipsch speakers and connect them to your tv...just like what I did. It's a home theatre.

My 2 cents - If you just fried up the Bose 3-2-1, just get a new receiver and you should be able to use the speakers in 3-2-1 mode. ORGo to BJ's or Samsclub. My local BJ's has a Bose 3-2-1 or an Bose 3-2-1 like system with Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver (2.1channel only), for 400 dollars.

You only need the playbar to play sonos through the tv without a receiver. Otherwise, a bridge alone will allow you to play music through the speakers.

The playbar is not needed to use the Play 1,3 or 5. The playbar is designed to work with a TV and the optical audio out. The bridge allows speakers to connect wirelessly.

Just need a single audio cable and maybe a rca cable for subwoofer. The length may be a problem for the audio but maybe best buy may have that long. Im assuming that you have and audio output in your tv

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

The TV is about 10' away from where I sit. It has more than enough sound. If you like the surround sound/theater type speakers then yes I would get a sound bar or front and rear speakers w/sub woofer but I don't think it is at all necessary.

I have yamaha powered subwoofer.Makes me feel like I am at the movies. SPll are great speakers but a sub will give you thunderstorm sound. Just check if you have a sub out on your system.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I have a Samsung sound bar on one tv and a sony on a second tv. Both are excellent. Just make sure you get a wireless sub woofer. The sound compared to the tv speakers is like night and day

Honestly don't know. I only have one sub on my system but I have additional rooms where a sub would definitely enhance the sound. I never considered 2 subs in one room. For rock, jazz, classical one sub does the trick.

The soundbar can be used as one speaker or split into two speakers. The wireles subwoofer is another speaker.
