Two systems? Why?

I mentioned on another thread that I have two completely different systems, one for HT and one for music. I wonder how many of y'all have taken that approach. Anyone care to comment on your systems and how they differ?

I'll start off.
My HT system: Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 mains, Reference CC, Reference ADP surrounds, and Servo 15 sub; Parasound 2500u pre/pro; Parasound 2205AT amp; Toshiba SD5700 DVD; Sony CX90ES CD jukebox; Monster cables.

My music system: JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers; Belles 350A amp; Rega Jupiter 2000 CD; various cables. No vinyl and no tubes (gasp).

Persons familiar with this gear will see clearly that I am seeking two quite different goals with these systems.

Others take a moment to share?

After trying to make a hybrid system work, I separated the music gear from the HT. My two systems are as follows:

HOME THEATER
----------------------
Pioneer DVL700
Sony SAT Tivo/DSS
Marantz AV550
ATI AT1505
NHT SuperOnes and SuperZeros

MUSIC
----------------------
Theta Pearl transport
Bel Canto DAC 1.1
Blue Circle BC21
Blue Circle BC22
ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures

Both systems share the same NHT SW3P subwoofer. I just switch cables and adjust the crossover when I bounce between movies and music.
