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>>>>

I have five:

1. Wilson Audio Sophia 2
2. Vienna Acoustics Strauss
3. Tannoy Definition D-700
4. B&W 805N
5. Pioneer HPM-40's, my very first pair of speakers
plus 3 center channels and 4 subwoofers. Way too much!

5 pairs.
3 pairs for 3 different systems and 2 pairs attached to the same system (both connected to the same source and amplifier, in different locations - one pair is right in front of the sofa for movies and near field listening, the other pair is along the perpendicular wall for a complete room filling and loud listening).
All of them in different rooms.

Family room (1)
Workshop (2), sometimes 3 if I'm messing around.

All are just stereo, except for one of the computer systems that has a sub.

Currently three, my main listening room are Revel M106, in  my workshop are some vintage KLH Model 2 Computer Controlled speakers which still sound pretty good, and some Boston CR 7 in my garage.
