Common for me since 1982.
I have always loved speakers the most in the audio game. Whether I bought them or built them there has always been a fascination with speakers. As a youngster, 10-12 years old, I was smitten with how different speakers created unique presentations and that was it....addicted to audio. As a trumpet player since 4th grade my ears where tools and speakers offered the greatest range of differential that I could not stop investigating. By the age of 14 I had two or three pairs, mid teens to mid twenties started the heavier rotation of quality speakers still maintaining three or more sets for swapping in/out. At the height of my spending there were times that I had speakers lining the walls of a spare room like a showroom. Large floor standers to stand mounts from Thiel, Paragon, Wilson, ML, Snell, Ariel, B&W, JM Lab, Osborne. Kits from Focal, Dynaudio, North Creek, SEAS....the list goes on. Fascinated does not begin to scratch the surface,
I was up to 20 pairs at one point and my wife said "I think you have an addiction!" to which I replied "I'm a collector of audio art." At least that is what I tried to convince myself of.
Some time down the road it was all sold off to take a break....yeah?
Nope, I count a total of seven pairs spread around the house again. This time I have three systems to justify some of the madness and keep the spares staged in my home office.
So if this is not normal then I am full on nuts for speakers.
Please tell me this is normal ?!?
