What made you put together your first 2nd system?


Did you just have lots of spare equipment and figured why not? Did you have a spare room, hobby room, shop, or office that needed better sound? Did you want to set up separate music and home theater systems? Or digital and vinyl rigs?


What was the final thing that pushed you over the edge?

I think I have a problem!  To many years collecting and hoarding, I have 3 2nd systems my main system in the basement for serious listening, a system on the main floor for every day listening, a system for the office, and a system at the cabin. I need help.
I've just fired up my 23rd second system. Or as I like to call it, the laptop.
Basement surround system, shop 5 speaker system, garage 4 speaker system, shed (backyard) 8 speaker system, office 5 speaker system, bedroom 3 speaker system and finally both stereo and surround systems in the A/V room.
31 years in the same place will do that.
No help needed
I had a big series of upgrades, but really liked my little entry level system. Kept the whole Shebang...
Different systems for different purposes - main system for serious listening (usually while reading or working on something) located in large walk-out level recreation/pool table room, outdoor system for the back porch and pool area, and living room system for television/movies and background/dinner music.
