Owning too many speakers

I have multiple sets of speakers that I own and listen to. I have a garage full (my listening space) of Thiel cs3.5, Klipsch Cornwall II's and Heresies, Carver AL-III, Dahlquist dq-10, Allied 2300c, vintage Infinity, B&w, Soundwave pointsource 3.0 - let alone the ones in other systems in the house and what I've sold over the last 12 months - I've bought none of these new (pawnshops, newspaper, garage sales, thrift stores,consignment) I've found every speaker has its own sound/characteristics (image, soundstage, accuracy) and depending on the day i enjoy listening to each. Are there others with this type of speaker interest?

I'm trying to control myself and not have too many speakers in my house but the itch to buy and try speakers

At my peak I had pairs of the following speakers.

KEF 104/2, KEF Q-90, Tannoy Mercury M1, B&W DM 303, PSB 500, Ohm Walsh 2s.

I have since gotten rid of all of them except for the KEF speakers. I didn't want too but the boss kept nagging and nagging.

"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."

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.
