Owning too many speakers

Ok, here we go - SPEAKERS ANONYMOUS.

I think I have 25 pairs, all full size (some even FULLER like 2 pairs of AR9's) except 1 set of Dahlquist M903 bookshelves.

In my largest listening area I own Klipsch Lascalas with powered subs. In another room I own Signet SL280 floor standers. A third room I have Yamaha NS20M studio monitors with Janis W3 sub woofers. In a 4th room I have Infinity towers. All the rooms are used at different times for different purposes, however I spend the most serious "listening" time in the Klipsch and Signet rooms. All rooms each have dedicated equipment. It is years of collecting I guess. I have other speakers and equipment not used at this time......

Where do you store all these full size speakers? How do you swap them out? Do you have them all on dolleys and can then wheel them out? I keep thinking of the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where there are tons of crates and one man rolling the boxed up Ark through it all.

Yea, it can get hilarious with them all. They are all over the house. None in the bathrooms...yet. Maybe some bookshelves ?

8 pairs in the bedroom. 6 in the living room. 1 in the dinign room. Lots more in the basement.

Seems like it's a lot easier to buy than sell :) I had some L100's here but no buyers. I think as I have no feedback people are gun-shy ?

When I was selling audio equipment at Innovative Audio in Brooklyn N.Y(now in Manhattan)many many years ago, the show rooms were set up when only a single set of speakers were in the room playing at the same time. We would wheel them in and out for a demo. Anyone with 2 or more sets of speakers in their room(with only 1 pair playing), the other speakers will also play, from the air pressure created from the playing pair. Room size and listening volume all have a more or less effect on this. Put you finger tip on a woofer ever so lightly of a non playing pair while others on playing and see what you feel. If the driver is vibrating, you are listening to it. Other than multi channel, multiple speakers in a room will add smearing and distortions, to these ears anyway.... remove the non playing speakers from the room and the playing pair will sound better.
