Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary

I imagine that having alternate amps is a given for folks, here, eh? Especially if you have tube amps? You have a SS as an alternate?

Thanks, Mike. I know my curiosity is piqued by electrostatics (e.g. Eminent) but also by the British speakers. 

Great responses so far. @bobpyle mentions that he's hit audio nirvana and doesn't see why he'd have a second pair. Posters have mentioned a bit about why they like the variation which comes with a second speaker -- seems like tonality, dynamics, and soundstage can vary enough that there is a refreshing difference which can be introduced by a second set of speakers.

I'm pretty sure that there is a second set of speakers out there that would do greater justice to the symphonic music I listen to -- so that's another reason for swapping in a second pair -- to make another genre of music come to a fuller potential.

Interesting divergences here. Some think that speakers are seeking to get the sound "right" and so there's no reason to have a system B. (Some think I'm asking about replacing their "A" system. That's not the question.)

Others see sound presentation the way many see food -- Italian food one night, Chinese another -- their differences can both deliver excellent dining and one cannot eliminate the other. I'm in this camp. Give me variety in food, music, audio, movies, novels, etc. This is art, not science (for me).

Speaker wise, both Tannoys and Eminent Technology LFT 8's are on my list. Also, Devores.

I'm curious about the punchy "liveness" of horns, the efficiency of concentric drives, the spatialization of planars and ribbons.

@mesch  Nice to hear from you. I'm also curious about the LRS speakers. I've heard the XA25 has much more power than officially claimed. 

Also glad to hear from the motorcycle folks and others with multiple forms of hobby gear. I love music, but I love gear, too. I love the technology and the variation it can bring to experiences of music. There is no such thing as an Ur-presentation of food, wine, transportation, etc. I'm amazed people can settle on a single divinity. The polytheistic ancient Greeks and the Hindus keep things fresh, IMO.

Weird use of the word "polyamory." If you’re that close to your hardware you may need a little more time with your shrink.

I'm polyamorous with my usage of "polyamory." I can't cotton to puritanical parameters, pops.
