Grizzog Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 How many systems do members have? I wanted to gauge my level of speaker addiction and see how many here have the same problem. I now have 4, none of which can I imagine selling. (One home theater, 3 2-channel) It would be interesting to find out why you have multiple and what got you started down the path. For me, my father was, and is, interested in music when I was growing up. We had a set of Martin Logan Sequel II as the main system. We also had Altec 100s for use with the TV. I took the Altecs to college, then moved on to Monitor Audio. The real addiction didn't start until I got into horns. They played music in a special way and had the emotion that I had always wanted in my music. Now, each one of my systems has horns, and I couldn't be happier with the sound that fills my home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Too many. I have six home theater rooms set up with a minimum of five speakers in each set up...plus a sub or two for each. I also have four two channel systems set up in my home not counting my garage stereo. I also have about thirty extra home theater suitable speakers, two or three extra dvd players, and a couple of extra amps. I think I have a bit of a problem Tim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Wow, I'm such a slacker. I have 1 home theater system and two stereo systems. Need to read the For Sale section more often or something... Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockOn4Klipsch Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have 3, 2 channel setups and a dedicated theatre room. The theatre also double as my guitar room with amps and cabs behind the acoustic transparent screen. When the kids grow up and move out I'll have 4 more rooms to play with!!!

oldtimer Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have a system for everything. From leaving the house to starting then parking the car, to making coffee, packing a suitcase, and so on. I keep telling my wife, "you gotta have a system." She is a little more casual on things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromprof Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think I have 6 if you count my kids systems (and don't count crappy computer speakers). I never get rid of anything, I could probably piece a few more together if I rummaged around in the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I believe two should be the minimum, one for TV and one dedicated for music. Each deserve their own, I'm sure others can explain the need for more.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 2- 5.1 HT's, 1- 6.4 shop HT, 1-2.1 computer, 1-5.1 computer, 1-2.0 woodshop, 1-2.0 swimming pool, 1-2.1 garape apt. That's 8 systems with 9 subs total. “When you can stop you don't want to, and when you want to stop, you can't...” ― Luke Davies, Candy Quotes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I never counted my daughter's set up with a pair of Outlaw amps and an Emotiva XDA-2 paired with some Klipsch B-3's. Also not in my previous post were my Klipsch 2.1 computer audio and 5.1 Altec Lansing 5.1 computer audio. All the other systems above are broken down in my signature.

wvu80 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hmm, I'm going to say a solid two systems. A 5.1 for the living room, so that is both TV and music, since the AVR does 2.x just fine. Then the 2.1 for the computer room which has the CF-4's. I play a lot of music content from Youtube from there. I can put together another pair of 2.1 systems if I want to mix-n'-match, or give to the kids if they want better sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have 6 set up right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadoc Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have two right now. And am building two speakers, work in process, in my shop that can be classified as furniture. Bigger, with quality components, are always better. Of course the Wife's first question was "Why do you need speakers that big?" Just keeping Paul's mantra alive "Pissing off the neighbors since 1946". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 After reading about all your setups, I feel like a slacker with only three systems. They seem like plenty for an apartment. The main one is the all-Klipsch Heritage 6.1 in the living room, then there's the 4.2 system in the bedroom, and I guess the 2.1 system connected to the computer counts as well. The last two have no Klipsch components. Sometimes I take my Yamaha PDX-11 portable speaker into the sunroom, along with a CD player, smartphone or tablet to drive it, but I wouldn't call that a "system".

Grizzog Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think we should just count "permanent" systems. I didn't count the altec boombox I have or the Bluetooth shower speaker. That would be cheating. [emoji4]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
