How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why?

Luv that Just One. The man must have a will of iron.

I had just one turntable a VPI TNT One and a Versa 1.2. Oh wait ...

I had just two turntables both from the last century and then Upscale got me with a sale on the VPI Avenger with printed arm. This was the top VPI arm not so long ago. Since then the turntables have bred like rabbits. 

Next was a Clearaudio Panzer with Universal and TT5 arm for a Goldfinger and a Koetsu Blue Lace diamond. Neither cartridge worked in the TT5. Put the Goldfinger in the Universal arm which worked great. Then I made the mistake of asking the dealer what was the ideal arm/turntable for the Koetsu. Now I'm waiting on a Grand Prix/Triplanar which they promise will be ready real soon now.

Still can't believe the Goldfinger wouldn't work in their own arm. Prolly never occurred to them that some madman would put their top cartridge in an entry level arm. 

* phono stages: two Lumis, two Manley Steelheads and a Nagra Classic in a pear tree. See! Just one Nagra.

Oh wait the topic was speakers and amps.

1. Eminent Tech Super LFT8 and Manley Lab 440.

2. Gallo Nucleus Reference and Manley Stingray

3. Replica JBL Hartsfield and VTL 500

Let’s see….21 speakers (not pairs, and 4 not currently in use), 9 amps/preamps/AVR’s.

Why? 3 separate systems. 

@bkeske 

Wow, that is an impressive amount of gear.

@ghdprentice 

Lol, yea, perhaps in numbers, but not all of it is very impressive in terms of quality….much of it just does it’s job (pretty well) for non critical listening/theater setups.
