How many of your rooms have audio gear?

My wife thinks that I am slowly but surely filling every room in the house with audio gear. I currently have 3 rigs which I think is reasonable. HT setup in the family room, 2 channel rig in the living room which also powers my outdoor speakers, and a 2 channel rig in the office which I will be setting up shortly.

How many of your rooms have audio gear? I figured this was good place to take a poll since I'm sure a good many of you have the same or more than me :smile:
Rig1 - Totem Hawks, Benchmark HDR, Parasound A21, Sonus, Samsung 52 LCD, Audioquest Type4
Rig2 - LFD LE IV Integrated, Harbeth P3ESR, Rega Dac, MF V-Link, IMAC, Audioquest Type4

    All of them, except the bathrooms! (I'm sure others have that room covered, too!)

    EDIT: Kitchen doesn't have any, per se, but it opens to the family room, so we're covered in the kitchen. :wink:

    After moving into my house in January, I went from having 3 systems in my apartment to consolidating down to just 2 in the entire house. I sold off my bedroom gear and took the tv out for my office for a better screen for photography stuff.

    I have however added the outdoor speakers but have all the equipment associated with that in the same tower as my living room stuff.

    With that said, I now have 2 nice systems and focus energy on my HT in the loft rather than spreading things out thin in all the rooms.

    2 but I keep my 1C's in our bedroom when not in use, and I'm working on a third rig for the family room that will power the patio/deck as well. I also have a closet in the basement full of polk audio parts and gear not in use..

    3: family room, office, spare bedroom that I use to iron. I keep all electronics out of the master bedroom but my wife had surgery and was bedridden a few years ago so I moved a TV in there temporarily but it's still there. :mad:

    Five active, all have cassette decks, two have TT's and RtR's. One has a CD player, soon to be two when the other Onix gets here. + the computer with 2TB external HD full of tunes, and a laptop for outside. I don't have a garage, basement or deck, just a small patio.

    But when the big Pilot console is on, you don't need anything else, fills the whole 2,000sqft house :biggrin:

    Full systems, all separates would mean 5 rooms.
    - 2ch listening room, HT in great room, 2.1 ch in Master, 2.1 ch in Office and a 2.0 system in the guest bedroom.

    I used to have speakers outside on the porch and in the garage. I decided to take them down and be a bit nicer to the neighbors. For tunes outside the house, I use a portable system or an mp3 player if it is just me.

    Every room except the bathrooms. I guess the kitchen doesn't either, but it is prime listening from the main room system. That includes a respectable setup in the garage too. My daughter's room is really just an all in one cd/radio. She will be upgraded at some point if she shows interest. Every other room has at least a receiver, speakers, and at least one source.

    That adds up to 5 complete systems right now, not including the All-in-one that my daughter uses. I have enough stored away for another 2 systems as well.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
