How many amps do you own?

i am wondering how many folks here own more than one amp. I own a couple of amps...a tube mono block ( Jadis) and a stereo ss Jeff Rowland model 8t ( modded). These two amps give me what I consider to be the best of ss and tubes. i do NOT use the amps in the system at the same time. As such, the system requires two sets of speaker cables and two sets of ic cables. I can run two amps off my preamp. Anyone else have the option of two amps..if so, what are they and why do you run multiples.

I have, and use nearly every day, five amps, three of which are Class D for home theater use, one SET 300B, (my favorite amp) and an SET 845 I'm still debating the merits of.

In my main system I rotate between 3 amps every 2 weeks ; enjoy each and , as daveyf suggested, the different flavors. Modwright LS100 tube preamp/ KWA100SE solid state power amp; Line Magnetic 518IA tube integrated; Finale Audio 7189 MK2 tube integrated.

In my 2 second system I use an Ayon Spirit 2 tube integrated. Occasionally I'll run it as a power amp with a Herron Audio VTSP 1 tube preamp.

I have 3 pairs of monoblock amps: Emotive Audio Vita amps (push pull KT-120), DIY 46 single ended, and DIY push pull 6L6.  They all sound good although quite different from each other.  I tend to swap one set out for another every few weeks.
