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%

Thanks>>>>

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.

I love speakers, but they unfortunately take up the most space of all components (especially the planars I prefer), just as drums take up much more space than do guitars. I have a bunch of both drumsets and speakers, the latter being ESS TranStatic I, Quad ESL (original), Magneplanar Tympani T-IV, Eminent Technology LFT-8b, ET LFT-4, NHT SuperZero, Optimus Pro LX5, GR Research 2-12 OB/Dipole subwoofers, and Rythmik DIY F15HP in 4cu.ft. enclosure subs.
