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?

Is it 2 systems if they share the same set of speakers in the same room? 😊

I have 2 2-channel systems. I had about equal money on both (too much) but decided to sell some expensive gear on my office system. Now my office system is very different from what most people have, and it is a real fun listen. I consider it the best headphone system in the world, but without headphones.
