Second audio system in your house?

Ok, I am timid in admitting it, I am a bit of a collector… been addicted to electronic gear since sometime around my 7th birthday… much unused gear around my house not even mentioned here… Pro audio gear etc…. an artifact of being a musician in the A/V business for many years, at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it… I lost count years ago… I get attached…

Most actively used… I have a great family room system based on some Sonus Faber Olymica II’s with a Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated and A5 CD in rotation with an Audio Research LS17Se driving a Bryston 3B and other misc. amp options along with an M&K Sub… Nak ZX-9 cassette etc, may put a turntable on that one...

Then there is an Adcom system driving some ancient JBL towers in my music room (as in musical instruments room)…

A much used mini Tiivoli system with my bedroom TV, another system with older Sony receiver and CD changer, Nakamichi cassette driving some Canton mini speakers in my lab/workshop..

A Sony A/V Receiver, Mirage speakers and Velodyne Sub with a big screen theater in the lower level… least used of them all… silly to have so much gear when I actually think about it…

Yes, I still enjoy working on an old piece of gear on occasion to get it up and running or sounding better by doing a few mods, cleaning etc…

Love the music, a bit burnt out on the the gear chase… I Like reading what others are doing here reminds me of the culture around Audio… Great people!

My main system is no holds barred for the ultimate serious listening sessions at least for me.  I use that as a reference but my second system costs much less and has some limitations. But still sounds spot on for serious listening at least up to modest listening volumes

My third system will try to match my reference system similarly but do it with a totally different approach i.e. Small tube amp.  

Lots of of flavors of very good sound.  It's fun to sample as many as possible and hear and appreciate the unique strengths and differences. 

Don't even ask how many pair of headphones I have sitting around...😛

I guess I am in the minority here. I basically have one audiophile system.
I do have another system in the basement, but basically older classic gear. Think Pioneer, Akai, JBL, etc.
I haven’t been down there listening to it in years (maybe over a decade now?).

Look we often choose to settle for one mate but why be limited to just one system?   Good sound need not cost a lot these days.   And one system does not care if you also love others.
