How many audio systems do you have in your home?

Curious as to how many systems do your have in your home?
I at one time or another have 3 mid to top tier sytems, one in family room, one in basement and one in main room (living room, HT room)?
Currently, my HT room has the best electronic, then the family room, and than basement.
Due to limited finance I will have to cut back on my audio toys to finance other needs, such as summer camp, summer vacation, etc. (things associated with having kids).
I am undecided in either going for a very budget minded system in family room and basement or just running speakers to those room from main room via an ABC switch box.
Are any of you currently in a similar situation or have been in such situation? What route did you take?
The family room/basement is mostly background listening.

Thx

#1 2ch audio in Living Rm. Same sources available on
#2 Multi Room system, spkrs in Kit, MBR, Bath, Garage and Yard w/ IR from MBR and KP in Kit.
#3 Stand alone for video in Family Room
(12v doesnt count)
#1 is where I want to be. #2 is nice for moving around the house, volume controls in all rooms. #3, dont know why I bothered, nothing on tv or dvd that doesn't insult intelligence other than The History Channel, and WWII wasn't fought in Dobly Digital

Harry,

I think your family room definitely deserves the system you built for it.

I heard Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood were working on remastering all the audio for every gunshot, bomb blast and artillery shell detonated during WWII into 7.1.

The History Channel and History International will be rockin' then!

Small SET rig in home office...amazing what 3.5 WPC can do in a small room w/sympathetic components.
