And is there one particular pair that gets more playtime?

Would you give up or sell the ones that don’t get used as much even though there’s something special about them that you still love?
 
Vienna acoustics beethoven's in rosewood that I sold in 2014 turned out to be harder to replace than I expected so when a pair turned up nearby at a fair price I bought them, but they share a room with a pair of salon2's so while they still do what they do better than anything else i've heard they still don't get much floor time before I start missing the scale of the revels presentation.
 
I totally understand. My Studio2, to my ears, are wonderful. As rotate though some of my speakers, I tend to love the one I’m with, but still miss certain attributes of the others.
 
Nine additional pair of speakers make up my whole house system. I have a relatively basic surround set-up for watching sports on the big screen. Neither gets much use. My 2-channel room gets about 98% of my attention and on most days 100%.
 
I also have a pair of kef R107/2's but they're upstairs serving ht duties and without a separate pre/pwr I can't accommodate the kube in my 2 channel system. Tbh I don't think those kef's bring anything to the table the revels don't do better anyhow.
 
I have Quad 57s, Trenner & Friedl Art, Diapason Adamantes Anniversary Edition, Boenick W5 SE, Linkwitz Orion’s, Andrew Jones designed Pioneer EX Series with TAD drivers for home theater duty, vintage IMF Super Compact II’s, JBL Decades and around five other pairs.

Lately Quads get the most playtime, Linkwitz are probably the purest and fullest sound but something causes me to like the Quads over all my other pairs. Would love to trim the herd a bit. Just sold a pair of Trenner & Friedl Ella’s, MMAcoustic monitors and Focal 807w’s which I’ll miss!
 
I have three pairs of speakers. Two old ones that don't get used anymore, and my current ones (see signature), which I do not intend to replace anytime soon. They are just too amazingly good.
 
Magico M3’s and Audio Note kits, similar to AN/E but with alnico magnets and LX wiring. Very different but love ‘em both. Needed a musical speaker to use with my 2A3, 300B, EL34 and EL84 amps. Listen to this 2nd system probably 30% of the time.
 
Quad ESL 57 here, too. I've threatened to sell them but instead sold two pairs of other speakers in the last few weeks to make room for a new one... Ive been hovering around Kii threes for the longest time and finally did it. i know, they're all-digital, use heavy DSP and class d amps (what was i thinking!! :)).
 
I have 5 audio set-ups where I can listen to nice 2-channel. I really don't move them (the speakers) around. I don't have anything as nice as the main system. I have a preamp for sale and if I say an ad for a pair of speakers within reasonable range more than what I have that someone was willing to trade, I wouldn't mind having a different pair for some of the secondary systems to swap in and out.
 
Not including my HT speakers, I do have a pair of JBL 4345s and a pair of NOLA KO speakers. The NOLA KOs are for sale though.
 
Avantgarde Duo Mezzo XD’s
MBL 120’s
(Trying to work a deal on a pair of Quad’s).

wonderful , audionote make some fabulous speakers . of course they are based on snell speakers and i use some snell drivers in my old impulse Taus speakers which are really good , in fact i would put them in magico A3 territory . listen to them a huge amount , also have a system with tannoy eaton legacy which gets a lot of listening too

I just got them but am a little occupied with other speakers.
I’m not sure what to do, that’s why I posted that question. The L100 are in the box.
