Two systems? Why?

I mentioned on another thread that I have two completely different systems, one for HT and one for music. I wonder how many of y'all have taken that approach. Anyone care to comment on your systems and how they differ?

I'll start off.
My HT system: Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 mains, Reference CC, Reference ADP surrounds, and Servo 15 sub; Parasound 2500u pre/pro; Parasound 2205AT amp; Toshiba SD5700 DVD; Sony CX90ES CD jukebox; Monster cables.

My music system: JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers; Belles 350A amp; Rega Jupiter 2000 CD; various cables. No vinyl and no tubes (gasp).

Persons familiar with this gear will see clearly that I am seeking two quite different goals with these systems.

Others take a moment to share?

I have at least 3 currently set up , with enough gear to put together at least 2 more if I had the space.

Kitchen system: Linn Classik, Rega Vulcan sub, M&K S-80 speakers.

Theater/bedroom system: (can be used as 2-channel or 5-channel home theater) - Rotel/Aliante/Sony/HK/Yamaha, etc.

Big Rig 2-channel system: SET monoblocks, ML CLS, stereo subs, BAT, Sony, etc.

Extra crap that could be another system: 47 Lab gaincard, Aerial 5s, Sony ES CD player, CJ Prem. 5 monoblocks, extra DVD player, etc.

When I get a bigger house will probably set up at least a 4th system. Have thought of even setting up 2 in different sides of my existing listening room.

Kirk,

We are all sick, why else would we be here? ;-) Judging from your gear you must be at *least* as bad as anyone who posted in this thread, (is CFB in here? he's pretty out of hand too it sounds like... ) LOL

Yeah, I dont' get too much crap for having 3 systems set up in my house (and I live alone), but damn I get a lot of crap for owning 5 cars! What's up with that? I could have bought all 5 of those cars (nothing newer than 1993) with the $ that's in just the biggest of the 2-channel systems... of course most people don't know that...

Bet that -930 refers to something with positive manifold pressure too...
