I have 2 primary systems and multiple "other systems". I've posted 3 of them here (although they're a little out of date at present).
My 2 primary systems are somewhat different in character, and one of them is a dual purpose (home theater and 2 channel). But I've taken some care in assembling both. The other systems exist because 1) I have a room in which I desire music (eg, our living room), and 2) I have equipment that's been rolled out of one of my primary systems and I'm not yet ready to sell.
I prefer listening on one of my primary systems - and when my wife is home she prefers that too (she doesn't like my music choices nor volume levels), but these rooms are in the basement and now and then I like being upstairs with some daylight. Also, my living room systems is somewhat of a vintage system that's fun to listen to. I also have a vacation home with a modest system set up there and it's my "primary" system when at that house.
