Patrick,

Six pairs of speakers! Why?

Are they all tethered to a working hi-fi system?

Me:

Jamo Cornet 175 part exchanged for
B&W 601s part exchanged for
B&W 602S2s part exchanged for
Rega Naos sold for
Piega TS5 sold on Ebay to make room for
Heco Celan 700 sold to a pfm-er for a pair of

Tannoy Prestige Turnberrys.
 
Goodmans something (RB250)
Kef Cantata
Heybrook HB3 (still have)
Isobarik active
Keilidh
Isobarik active (still have)
Keltik (using)

In recent years I don't think I've really got to grips with getting speakers working well in my current room. I'm sure that smaller stand mount jobs (maybe Sonus Faber) would probably be more effective but I can't bring myself to move away from big lumps with lots of bass power. They used to work well in our old property and I can't let go of that experience. Perhaps on the other hand I am just too picky and expect too much.

Full range (20Hz @ -3dB in-room), active crossover between woofer and mid, and passive crossover between mid and tweeter using only 2 caps, one inductor and one resistor. Tri-amplified with 125W + 60W + 60W each.
