Nothing like the Play 5

These little guys just have no oomph at all and have no stereo imaging whatsoever. I have 4 of the Play 5's and have to run those in stereo to get some decent sound, imaging and bass response.
If your just looking purely for background music the 3 is fine, but its not good for much else.....

Good, but............

The S5 has great high fidelity, decent bass response and plays loudly if asked, but the caveat is soundstage and stereo separation.
Its almost impossible to put right and left channels in a box 14" wide and expect a good stereo effect or any sort of soundstage.
It's a compromise. It is however very well made and If your goal is just some background music, or your not too fussy about the aforementioned, than this will fill the bill. I think it's great to take out on the patio of bring into the garage. I would be hesitant to put it in a large bedroom or family room and expect it to perform as well as two separate speakers located 8'-10' apart.
And at $400.00, there are many alternatives as well....
Four stars......
