How many of us are truly diversified


So here is my question after reading a couple of these Class D threads and how they are taking over the world.
How many of us are truly diversified in our home audio systems. How many of us have multiple systems in the home that are of different class amps or integrated.

I have Class D Yamaha and NAD 3020 out by my pool.We have a Pass Labs INT25 (A) in the bedroom.
Quicksilver Integrated AB tube in the officeAH Quliton X200 class A/AB in the living roomAnd I have a Bel Canto.One C5i in the hangar.
I am going to say I love my tube amps and the thing I like about the Class D stuff I have is I can go Cheap, Cheap on speakers. Hell they are on the deck by my pool and in our hanger (cheap old metal style hanger, rusty and almost a dirt floor).
So I was curious how many of us here have multiple systems of various classes and what is your fave.

OK, DACs, too. They have a phenomenal range of performance across a variety of systems.  Imo more so than expected.
Diversification is imo defensible for my systems only when technology has unique characteristics difficult to replicate.  I only find that in speakers.  I find convergence in most other components not justifying variety to the same degree. There is so much variance in systems' performance that one is hard pressed to be assured superior performance by building ad hoc systems of a mixture of amp types.  :)
