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>>>>

Thanks you so much for the quick respnses, my next question would be why you would own more than 2 pairs of speakers such as one for Stereo and one for HomeTheater (5 or 6)

1) Because you feel the urge to keep hearing others
2) You are still looking for Audio Nirvana
3) You have a large sum of money
4) You write reviews and get them free
5) They are very good for furniture
WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GREAT RESPONSES AND AMAZING # OF SPEAKERS YOU GUYS HAVE, I AM CURRENTLY LOVING SINGLE DRIVER SPEAKERS AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A FLOOR STANDER. I WENT FROM SOLELY DYNAMICS TO ONLY PLANAR/ELECTROSTATICS BACK TO DYNAMIC AND NOW SINGLE DRIVER CROSSOVERLESS SPEAKERS. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ALL THE SPEAKERS ABOVE, BUT I JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT AUDIO SHOW IN NEW YORK IS BEST FOR ME. I AM LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE GOING TO THESE SHOWS. I AM HAPPY THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN MY SPEAKERMANIA>> THANKS TO ALL AGAIN!!!!
JKW1, how do you like the Totem Forests? I had the Hawks and loved them the most, you seem to have my taste in speakers as well.
GARYH, HOW DO YOU LIKE THE ZU TONE? I JUST OPTED FOR THE MARK AND DANIELS RUBIES, BOTH ARE 6 MOON AWARD WINNERS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RUBYS, I ALSO OWN A PAIR OF HORN SHOPPE HORNS WHICH I LOVE AND ARE SINGLE DRIVER LIKE THE TONES.

ALSO HOW ARE THE KHARMAS?? Springbok10?
Thanks Garyk! The Mark and Daniels are a cross between a Single Driver and a Electrostatic, they are made in China and cost $1600 which is at the top of my budget. They sound like my Hornshoppe Horns on Steroids. The Horn Shoppe Horns cost $850 for a floorstanding single driver loudspeaker. For their price they are hands down the best value in Loudspeakers at that level and 2 or 3 times the price. I have 4 pair of speakers currently, Mark and Daniel Rubys, Hornshoppe Horns, Usher X719 and Definitive Tech BP6 for home theater. I am most intrigued with the Zu and Gallo and the Kharmas which are completely out of my league.
