Upstairs is kind of a tube playpen. Maggie 9302 and stereo biamp AMP81, Radio Craftsmen 500's, Heathkit SA2, AA141, AJ12, ROK R33, Altec 15's and a few other projects.

The 9302 is what I run in the livingroom driving my homebrew Zilchlab Econowave based monstrosities. I also run a Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball for cans and the Pro-Ject Tube Box S phono.

Presently, my 9302 is loaded with Mullard Blackburn coded 6EU7s and repro Gold Lion 6BQ5s. Glorious.

Jolida 102b 6BQ5 amp in the master bedroom with some Klipsch RB-5s

way too many speakers many are good but gathering dust

Legacy Super Satellites (these I do not like but they are "high end") wish I had never seen them
EPI M-50s (a must pick up if you see them)
RSL 3600 (not worth a dime but they sound great)
Infinity Overtures (another weird high end with amplified woofer and MTM passive high end)

Bose speakers belong inside of cars, not in garages.

Looks like you got the speaker bug too. A couple of my favorite pairs of speakers are unknown brands. In the mancave, I have a pair branded as "CMC," but they have Utah woofers and horns for the mids and tweeters. Right now, they have displaced that Acoustic Research AR-93. I also have a pair branded "GSL" with a nice cabinet and a good sound. They have an interesting rear-firing driver that makes a good soundstage when I can use them in a good listening space.

The best listening space is our living room, but my wife and I have had to reach a compromise. The AR's were too big, and the CMC are bigger than those. I found a nice compact pair of AR Connoisseurs that she likes the looks of. In return, she does not complain about my placing them in the middle of the room, where they sound the best.

At one time I had well over 40 pair of speakers, but many of them were mid-fi at best. Down into the 20s now and still trying to move some of them out.

Both, and I went through a major gear upgrade in the last year. Main gear list:
Preamp: Luxman CL-32 (capped & tubed last week), Bryston BP-20, McCormack ALD-1, Phonomena II
Amps: MC 275, Scott LK-150, MC 2125, Bryston 4b-ST

[BlueStreak]

The only unused speakers I have left are a set of Infinity RS7s in storage. The tweeters fried and need to be rebuilt or replaced. I have built crossovers for them using Jantzen coils and caps. I need to get that done.........someday.

In the bedroom are ADS L710s, in the garage Realistic Nova 6 and the home theater is Definitive Tech BP6 main & surrounds with a home built 15" sub using the Dayton Titanic III and a 500 watt Dayton amp.
