I used to put all my money into one system, but wanting some variety, I branched off and started assembling a second system. My first system consists of Magneplanar MGIIIA speakers with a custom 12" 7 foot tall sonotube sub I made, with Adcom amps, Sony ES, Arcam, AudioControl stuff. Its midfi by audiophile standards, but better then circuit city stuff. I eventually plan to add a center, and rears but thats further down the road.
My second system is my pro audio/DJ system which I dont use for DJ but its setup in my house, I have Electro-Voice Eliminator tops with 2 EV SB180 subs, driven by an AB International amp and a Crown Macro-Tech 5000Vz respectively thru an Ashly crossover. Behringer and Soundcraft mixers.
As you can see these are systems on totally opposite ends of the spectrum. One is hifi, but doesnt get that loud, the other is rather low fi but gets very loud.
But I have 2 systems cause each has its own personality. Amplified music (rock, club) sounds awesome thru the DJ system and of course the other system is used for movies and more delicate music, although I do mix it up some. Psychadelic trance sounds interesting thru the magnepan system as does jazz thru the PA system. Today I listened to a Sheffield disc I had of jazz thru the PA system and I really liked it.
So, are there others with 2 systems for different styles of music, or am I smokin somethin? |

I have modestly tried to implement some of the audiophile lessons into my PA system.
If you dont have the resources to have a high volume Audiophile sound system why not try combine both to your reach extent?.
And it could be slowly started; modding the source, bettering cables, upgrade/mod your crossover, replacing caps everywhere and lasty replacing your amps(I´ve seen Gainclones getting closer higher volumes)...
Then you would have the pure audiophile experience aside to a progressively less distorted Djing...which could greatly benefit from it, since this usually involves several times amplification; hence widerly exposing the sound flaws.
