Second audio system in your house?

Hi, just curious how many of you have a second audio system in your house, and, actually use it? I've recently bought some new components and had planned on selling my old amp, but I'm still attached to it, and with a small investment, say $1000, I could get some bookshelf speakers and a CD player. On the fence about the whole idea. There's a whole lot of other things to do with $1000 mind you, so I'm not sure if it's the most sensible thing to get into. I won't even ask the wife what her opinion is, as I already know it.

I have a primary one in a dedicated room, a second in the living room for audio/video, a third in a bedroom which I might sell off, an old system in the pole barn, and a suitcase system for the road. I must have a disease.

Secondary systems are fun, need not cost much, built on the used market, and components can be swapped out for change. I often set one up on my deck in the summer. Love being outdoors in the country. Using a laptop computer as a server serves as the front end of several of my systems. Also my headphone system which I failed to mention in my 1st post.

One thing about spending $1000 on a second system is that you might find out how good one can sound with such an expenditure. I have friends who think nothing about spending $1000 on a TV and won’t spend $500 on audio to augment the experience. Oh well, not my problem.

Vicweast, yea, gives one something to play with/spend on without breaking the bank, and with the exception of minor tweeks I tend to leave my primary system alone.

I should have said unchanged, not alone.
