Dual speaker system

@kota1 nice! I use Roon to stream to multiple systems in my house. What I’m experimenting with now is two sets of speaker amp combinations in my hifi system. I am liking toggling between my laid back tube amp/smaller speaker combo and my more precise solid state/large speaker set up. Keeps me on my toes.

Its fun, I tried Roon before, it sounds good. Most of my speakers are active so if I tried tubes it would need to be a preamp.

I had seperate front speakers for my HT and my 2 channel for a while.  It was an impressive wall of speakers.  But acousticly not the best and getting my better 2 channel amp aligned to play the front role during HT is a win win.

I have a fiend who runs three set of Quad els's stacked. so he's running them all at the same time, 6 speakers and 6 mono block tubed quad amps. I have to say in his larger room his sound is dynamic and huge with all the detail the ESL's are known for. 

That is a silly proposition. Good systems play everything well. If they can't they are not good systems. One great pair of speakers is always better than two mediocre ones. Same for amps. 

@glennewdick  We use to run stacked Quads all the time. The HQD system is a classic. Hartley subwoofers, stacked Quads and Decca ribbon tweeters each one driven my it's own Mark Levinson 25 watt class A amp designed by John Curl. All this is acting like one speaker system. The OP is contemplating two entirely different speaker systems for different moods.
