How many pair of speakers do you own?

1) 1 pair Cain Abby (main speakers)
2) 2 Mission 731i, 70C, Sony Surrounds ("Home theater")
3) Tivoli Model One
4) maybe a pair of Quad ELS57

Total 8-10 speakers sitting around.

why you would own more than 2 pairs of speakers

More than one place to live - nonlocal entanglement.

You have no idea how useful this thread, but just one question first, where on earth do you keep them? To answer the question, I have 1 pair only, obviously not a serious audiophile then. My wife insists I am being extravagant when I bought some Acoustic Zen Adagios recently(and sold my Living Voice Avatars). When she next criticises me, I can wave the print out of this thread at her and prove how frugal I am. Seriously, I would have nowhere to keep more than 1 pair.

Counting subwoofers, a total of 20 speakers. And I just sold 2 pairs. When you have 2 home theaters and a couple of stereo systems, it adds up. Luckily most of them are small.

Three pairs and one in the process of being completed.

I say music needs to be in every room.
