How many speakers do you have and what are they?

In my small 1 BR apartment:

ESS TranStatic

Infinity Monitor (original - not monitor II)

Klipsch KG-3 (first and only speaker I purchased new)

Klipsch Heresy I

The ESS and Infinity see daily use. The Klipsch see little use, but I can't convince myself to get rid of them.
 
I seem to be an Advent fan. Here's my list:
Advent 5002...youngest daughter's room
Advent NLA...on top of the 5002s
Advent Prodigy...our bedroom
Advent Prodigy...workout room
Advent Futura...oldest daughter's dorm room
And some Sony 2 way towers that I got free with a vintage receiver...and are the only speakers I found that fit PERFECTLY on either side of my media cabinet. Not even 1/8" to spare. They actually sound pretty good!

I hope to add a few more pair of the big Advents. Always looking.

If we are doing what I think we are doing... Then-

My name is Biscuithead, and I'm an addict. Pass the candle. I own under two roofs 112 pairs of speakers. This is a reduction of what it once was. My biggest is a DIY Alec Vott, my smallest is (4 pair) Minimus 7. My Favorites are my Cornwalls and Fortes and some diy econwave JBLs. I can not park in the garage, I can barely walk in the basement storage. I have 16 active systems, and probably 60 active speaker pairs (via speaker selectors). The ones not active, are mostly duplicates of what I have fallen in love with. I did not count raw speakers.

I'm fighting it though. Yesterday after work, I went to look at some Empire Grenadier 7000s that are about 20 blocks from my house. They were pretty rough, but I am sure the mid inside was fine. The mid - dome driver in these Empires are a sound to behold... (I have a couple pair)
I did not come home with them. I still have the shakes, and I'm waiting for the "methadone" treatment....:D

I guess when you have over a hundred pairs there are going to be some obscure ones.I had never seen or heard of Grenadiers.Last of the furniture speakers I presume.

When they are primo, they certainly look like a beautiful piece of furniture. But I wouldn't discount the sound, they are designed and manufactured by Empire... It is hard to name an Empire product from 1960 through 1980 that was Slouch...
I have a pair of 8000Ps that I've recapped and sealed. They look and sound so delicious, almost as good as the ADS L710s on top of them.:blah: I can talk speakers all day...
 
That are actually worth mentioning on here?
--------------------------------
Four Minimus 11s for the front and rear channels.
Single Minimus 7 for the center channel.
Powered currently by a Sony STR-DH500, but it will be upgraded to an STR-DN1000, and either two more Minimus 7s or two more Minimus 11s for the back-rear channels, haven't made up my mind yet on that, and a good 100w sub, in a couple checks.
 
250 pair or so ...
