Anyone Else Running Two Systems?

Sorry if this topic has been covered, I did a search and only found a little bit.

I have two systems in my house.  In the main one I have a Pink Faun Scion as the source, McIntosh MCD 12000 DAC/CD, McIntosh MA 12000 integrated Amp and KEF Reference 5 Meta Speakers.  Tai Hang power enhancer.  Plus it is a treated room.  Cabling is expensive too.  It sounds fantastic.  

My second one is a bedroom system, way simpler and cheaper. Source is a  Blue sound Node going into a Vincent SV 228 integrated amp.  The speakers are Wharfedale Lintons.   This system is not as good as my main one. It doesn’t have the expansive stage or weight/3Dness and detail of the main system, but even so it is a whole lot of fun, very very enjoyable in its own way.  If this system was all I had, I could seriously be content and happy with it.   By the way, I have had a lot of integrated amps go in out my systems over the years.  I must say from my listening experience, the Vincent SV 228 is underrated and a pretty good value.  

Anyone else have two systems with one being "better" but still taking some listening time to enjoy a second less expensive system?

Just 2 systems?  I have a system in almost every room.  Kinda got carried away years ago...

That sounds familiar...

Have three two channel systems.  They all spund different yet all are very musical and engaging.   In addition, i have an amplifier graveyard consisting excellent, mostly modded amps.  Amps are like putters, u can never have too many.  I have a fourth two channel system at our second residence.  I very much enjoy each one of them.

Yes.  Carried away also with 3 nice systems. In fact, was about to post a question on this. My “A” system is in my living room where I listen to it all the time , it is always on, but horrible room acoustics.  Since it is my living room I am not going to treat it. I have a nice system in my basement, great acoustics and sounds great, but I don’t go down there a lot.  So, do I switch and put my A system in the basement where I won’t listen as much, but will be able to take advantage of what I have from a pure AQ standpoint and put my nice B system in the room where I listen most?????
