How many pair of speakers do you own?


Since I am a self proclaimed speaker nut, I was trying to justify to my wife that having 5 pair of speakers is normal for an audiophilic addict. Curious also about what type, Dynamic, Planar, Single Driver etc; If you are member of this sight, you probably have a mania towards some component or other. Mine is Loudspeakers, which I learned early are 70% of your system. To me they may be >> 80%

6 pair currently up and running.

1 pair (Boston A40s) sitting idle and awaiting an eventual rebuild.
5 currently in 5 different rooms, soon to add another pair

Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk 2 - main system in my 12X12' listening room/office with the best interconnects, wiring, etc.

Ohm Model L with Ohm SBA enhancement (see ohmacoustics web site) and custom fitted Morel woofers - connected via in-house wiring in the adjacent 30X18' rec room

vintage Ohm Walsh 2's from 1982 (still cranking no problem) - connected via in-house wiring in 12X12' sunroom

Triangle Titus + M&K sub-woof - separate 2-channel audio/video set-up in 17X17' family room connected to a vintage Tandberg TR2080 receiver (still cranking)

Realistic Minimus 7's, wood housing that have withstood the weather on my deck for about 8 years now

Soon to add another pair of newly upgraded Ohm "Super" Walsh 2's using the latest Ohm Walsh drivers (I'll be comparing these a/b to my old Walsh 2s to see what the difference is).
Yesterday I finally refoamed the Boston a40 series 2 speakers I bought 30 years ago that were sitting idle. Got them back up and running again today. Those little oldies surprised the heck out of me. The same very mellow but nicely detailed and dynamic sound I remember. Very nice in my acoustically very lively 12x12 sunroom and off my main system with the bel canto ref1000m class d amps. The $20 repair kit was a good investment.
