In Reply to: to many system's cant get rid of any posted by fin1bxn@msn.com on April 27, 2007 at 08:54:48:
Fin1bxn:I don't think there is anything wrong with having a few systems in your "collection". What I DON'T understand is guys who want ONE system to be all things to all music and all men. Sure, with 100K _ systems, they get pretty close - but for the rest of us there is this concept known as specialization. SET amps are wonderful and can be very pleasing with a vast variety of genres. But for some more intensive passages or those with a large low frequency component, some find them light in the power department (except perhaps those running ulta-high efficiency speakers in the 100db + range). So it makes sense to have a system than can "rock out" in addition to the SET setup. Then there are the different types of speakers. Conventional, bi-polar, di-polar, ribbon, planar... each have their own list of strengths and shortcomings.
Some guys are forever tweaking (like me) and really only have one system going at once. We're contantly building and rebuilding systems probably as much in the name of experimentation as for the love of music! Then, there are others who like to set up a system and leave it - for these guys having more than one room set up is a very logic choice.
Some guys love music. Some guys love stereos. Some guys love both.
You probably just love both!

Fortunately my wife enjoys a lot the DIY process, and is OK to have a different sound every week. She also keeps it a proirity to organize every room around the stereos..... to get the best acoustics. :) The furniture is second on the list of her priorities next to sound.

Freedom and flexibility = lots of different sounds and looks.
Most importantly, the freedom. Freedom meaning the space and room free of those "others", be them spouse, children, dogs, etc. So, there I remain as one of those "guys" trying to make one system be all things all the time. I've probably spent more money on that one and the tweaks than if I would have if I had taken a multi-system approach. But, alas, I'm still lacking the freedom.Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
Nothing ain't worth nothing, but its free.
not all systems can be everything, they all have the positives and negatives. once i get a system tweeked. i just sit back and enjoy it.for the guys in the other post's, i'm divorced 10 years and havent comprimised since and dont have too any more.
why are divorces so expensive - because their worth it....
