[poll] how many pairs of speakers makes one a Speaker W-ore? - mrbigstuff - 08-16-2013
I think I'm approaching it, with probably 6 pair of speakers at this point.
Granted, I really only have one set on a system at a time, but I like them for different listening experiences. And, generally, my work system is counted toward this total and I hardly ever turn it on. Craigslist and the local thrift store (not to mention trash picks) are not helping this hapless addiction. FWIW, I have paid no more than 15% of what these speakers sold for originally. The ROI on speakers is downright scary.

Do you have more than three 5.1 systems in your home? I have parts for two, plus three regular speaker pairs. I almost bought a friends pair of 1995 era Infinity speakers for $40 because I could re-foam them and sell for about 4 times that.

It's only a problem when the DEA comes knocking because the electricity your amps consume looks like a suspected Grow operation. :emoticon-animal-022:

I think that makes you more of a speaker polygamist. If you buy and sell several sets per year, that makes you a little promiscuous maybe. My ears can't handle much any more (tinnitus, etc.), so I found a set that's really smooth, and stick with that. Plus, I think I use the cans more than anything now days. kj.

to clarify: all the 6 pair or so are only 2.0.

It's not the number of pairs - it's the price:

I wonder how my 96k mp3s would sound on those $7M solid gold speakers?

I just own a pair of these. First commercial use of EMIT ribbon tweeters.
