    Two pairs currently: Tannoy DC4 and my main speakers, Pioneer's S71-B. Both are dual concentric designs, the Tannoys are very good at their price (£350) with clear detail, controlled bass and very insightful.
    The Pioneers came out around 2009, lovely build, probably around the £700 mark or so but I picked up a NOS pair last year for a very good price. Quite a refined sound, big scale to it though and a tad more solidity than the DC4 manages. The Tannoys will be going up for sale soon. Only need the one pair of speakers.

    Right now I have the following; AR 4ax, MB Quart Model 800-1990, Neat Acoustics Mystiques-2000, Cambridge Audio S30-2010, Mission MX3-2013. I actually like all of them regardless of their whether they are old or new as each has a different sonic character for my small listening room. Had many more speakers but these are the ones that I have kept.

    I've never owned more than one pair of speakers at a time but I've owned lots of them.

    Three pairs:

    1. Vandersteen Treos (my latest and greatest)
    2. Paradigm 3SEs - my first good speakers, a gift from my dad in 1987 when I was a freshman in college.
    3. McIntosh XR6s- my dad's first audiophile speakers. That system is a big part of the reason I love audiophile gear to this day.
