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

So many threads out there are about chasing the ultimate speaker -- or getting rid of speakers to try something new.

Here, I am looking for different stories. 

If this applies to you, tell me about a time you had a certain kind of speaker and decided to get a second set to swap in. Maybe you had stand mounts and you wanted to swap in towers....maybe you had box speakers and wanted electrostats...maybe it was because you were super curious about a different brand...

Curious about your second, swap in speaker set...and why.

And, if you eventually fell out of love with the first pair and divorced them...feel free to confess to that, too.

Stay cool!

I’ve practiced serial monogamy in this respect, but if I had the space, I’d buy another pair of speakers. I am now using Janszen hybrid electrostatics; the second pair would be monitors in the British tradition (Harbeth, Spendor, Stirling, Graham).

Come to think of it, I have a pair of Harbeth P3ESR in my second (desktop) system. I enjoy listening to them very much, but there is a special way that the main system -- with the Janszens in a quiet room -- can transport me.

I’ll be interested in what people say!

@artemus_5 - It wasn’t me. I have never been involved with high-performance cars. Indeed, since I moved from North Carolina 12 years ago, I tried to change my user name on Audiogon, but for security reasons, they allow that only by closing the old account & opening a new one, thus losing all feedback. Anyway, thanks for asking -- and happy trails to you!
