If you count surrounds 30 pairs plus 4 subs. If not 18...

Peck555,
.
If I only had to choose one headphone it would be the Stax, if I went for another set of conventional headphones it would be one of the upscale Grados.
Hope this helps.

Actually I owned Grado 325's for 20 years, but they finally gave up the ghost, I always liked the sound, but comfort is not their middle name. Although, I have read that you can put the more comfortable larger ear pads from the more expensive line on them.

I guess we are all as OCCD about speakers as Carver gear.
  • AR-LST
  • 2 sets of AR3A (one pair needs to have mids/hi's repaired and a recap)
  • AR3
  • Empire Grenadier 9000
  • 2 sets of Allison 3 (corner speakers) 
  • AR90's on the way
  • Dayton subs HT390HF
  • Allison 6's? in the attic
  • Does a 1940's/50's vintaqe Jensen count (hasn't been out of the attic in 30 years

Had to think about it... I really only use a couple of the set ups on a daily basis...
 
Main stereo set up: 
1 pair Klipsch Cornwall II's
 
Family room: 
1 Bose Acoustimas 7 5.1 set up
 
Work bench: 
1 Bose Acoustimas 5 set up
1 Bose Acoustimas 3 set up
 
Stored in the garage - tops are good; 18" woofers in the subs are blown: 
1 pair Electrovoice Eliminators
1 pair Electrovoice Eliminator subs
 
 
I forgot about the editor set up: a very nice pair of Behringer Truth monitors with their own biamps, and the stage set up: five Peavy slanted floor monitors, and the small Altec system I have running off the main computer in my office.
 
Overall, I guess Speakers 'R' us!

Infinity RS-4.5, Infinity Quantum Line Source, Infinity RS-2.5

Carver Plat Oaks 60"

Acoustat 1+1 and 2+2

Kef Reference Model One

Polk Signature Reference Series 3.1tl (DSA)

Paradigm Titan

Paradigm cinema 90 surrounds

Paradigm PDR 12 sub

Paradigm CC 170 center

Klipsch Quintet II (5 pairs)

Klipsch sub 12

Klipsch KG 3.5

Infinity Qa

80's Philips (sentimental value)

White Van Scam Theater Research ($50 from a co worker. just for the fun of comparing something truly crappy with something really nice, plus they do look cool!)

Another White Van Scam Millennium Theater Systems ($50 at garage sale, just for the fun of it)

Single Sansui 2500x

Single pioneer with 15" woofer

3 Polk Audio in ceiling

2 Yamaha 2.1 computer systems

Altec Lansing 2.1 computer system

2 Philips 2.1 computer systems

5 pairs of Polk mid bass drivers for DIY project

5 pairs of Infinity Emit k tweeters for same project

5.1 Yamaha home theater speakers

Advent Prodigy

Klipsch iFi ipod speaker system

 

Car speakers:

JBL GTI 408 components

Two pairs of JBL GTI 400 mid ranges

Two pairs of Polk Audio DB 5520 coax's

Two Infinity Reference 12" subs

Two Kicker 10" free air subs

Two pairs of Sony 6x9

Optimus (Radio Shack) 6x9

Some Bose from an 86 Cadillac D'Elegance

... And that's not even the stuff IN my cars!! (I've left the Bose systems alone in my Cadillacs -STS & XLR- because they're integrated with the navigation system and other vehicle configuration... And there's no point or fun installing a cool system in my wife's Honda Odyssey)

 

So that would be about 30 pairs of home speakers plus sub woofers and center channels, and the one-offs. And about 10 pairs of car speakers...

Damn! Once you put it in writing like that, I don't know if I should be proud of all the equipment collected throughout the years or embarrassed of all the crap I've accumulated throughout the years!! I think I should put half of this stuff in craigslist...

I've gotten quite sensible about speaker ownership after realizing that A - they take up too much room, and B - they're the hardest thing to sell (when you live in the boonies and shipping is the only option).
 
So my modest collection is down to:
 
Main Listening Room
Talon Khorus on Target R1's.
Michael Green Floorstanders
HSU Sub
 
 Bedroom 1
Apogee Caliper Sigs
 
Bedroom 2
QLN Signature Splitfield II 
 
Closet
Carver Amazing Plat Hybrids
 
Various items of dross - computer speakers, outdoor speakers etc
 
However, it's that time of year again where outdoor activity takes second place to hanging around on forums and getting corrupted by all you fiends....so who knows how the list will look come March 2015

This time last year, I had 6 pairs. Now I have only 1 pair. Polk RTA15TL's. They aren't a bad speaker, but I want to get back into a pair of SDA's or DQ10's.

Posted

I only have 4 pair  I have a pair of Advance A+'s, a pair of Polk Audio 5b's, a pair of EPI 200b's with a pair of Hiel tweeters (glue let go on one of the original EPI tweeters) and my latest acquisition a pair of Technics SB-7000a's.The Advance speakers I purchased new in 1982, I've refoamed the surrounds and upgraded the cross overs, just sitting in their original boxes, I have cats so it is the safest place for them at the moment.  The Polks I purchased new in 1987, these have the upgraded tweeters and upgraded the cross overs with Clarity Caps and Mundorff resistors.  The EPI's were a garage sale find from a couple of years ago, had the magnet glue let go on one of the original tweeters.  Thanks to Rod ( Doh-R) he pointed me to a fellow on Canuck Audio Mart that had a pair of Hiel Tweeters.  They pretty much fit right in with just a little sanding and opening up the hole for square magnets.  The last pair are my favorites, the Technics have a huge sound stage most of the time I don't have SH engaged on the C-1.

Spare bedroom:

Some old Radio Shack speakers that refuse to die

 

I put out on the curb less than a year ago some old BIC Venturi 6 speakers that I bought in college ~1977. 12" vented 3 ways with walnut cabinets. One woofer voice coil would rub when you cranked it up more than a couple of watts but otherwise they were in decent shape. Gone in 20 minutes.

 

Still have a pair of old Koss headphones, was one of there best back when they were one of the better headphone makers. I never use them, hate wearing headphones.

 

I think my 350Z and my RAM 1500 eanch have 6 or 7 speakers.
