Ok, so how bad exactly is your driver hoarding?

[hcruz]

Stopped counting at 130 but it's probably between 150 and 170.
I also have another problem.

Holy smokes!

[mattp]

Some of these numbers are just crazy. But at the same time I get it...

That stack of Strokers and other misc subs is insane. I'll have to show that to my GF who things my TWO new subs are too much.

I have 19 and all of them are on/under my desk here at work. All but one I have plans for and it is just a random one-off 8" sub. I have zero at home on shelves at the moment, until I finally bring these home.

Yes, that bench needs cleaned.

[civit]

I have some css SDX10s which I'm about to use, some broken rs28fs I got on ebay and didn't have to pay for and....that's it. What is wrong with you people. Where are you finding used drivers worth buying? I look on ebay and I never see anything that isn't an overpriced OEM or busted or a single driver.

Sorry but none of that counts because we're talking about driver hoarding. Need a different thread for receiver/amp hoarding.

We are buying new and saving. Maybe a few PE tent sale finds. Sometimes I'll buy used if I know the person, but it's not to often any horders here want to give up the good stuff.

[tmhutson]

I have new, used, complete, incomplete, drivers, etc. But many of you make me feel like an amateur. I dont feel so bad after hearing some stories. :D
I am kind of glad that i moved to an area with no swap meets. I also got rid of my big CV speakers after getting some nice free upgrades.
I most definitely am a speaker hoarder, though.
I have more storage space now.
But my garage is not a working workshop/lab yet.
It could get worse...
:D

Dirty old single drivers need love too. I have also found pairs of Scanspeak mids, Scanspeak HDS and SB Acoustics tweeter pairs on EBay. Owning one of driver is not a crime when you are really curious about something like a Hiquphon tweeter or Scanspeak 18w woofer or Dynaudio D28. You can get real deals on single vintage or rare drivers. I try to stay below 40 or 50 bucks but occasionally splurge to 100 bucks for something like a fairly recent Focal W cone woofer which are excellent.I love to find a 10 to 20 buck sleeper like a Philips midbass used in the DQ10 and Vintage Infinity’s. It is very cheap nostalgia buying compare to most vintage items like toys, motorcycles, and cars. I have bought stuff that broke but was fun to have for a while like, Goodmans, Wharfdale, Bozak, and Jordan Watts. The stuff was just not to last 50 years.

time for me to do an inventory and make a list

yeah, but I'm just a newbie!

You're a hardened professional with 13k posts over the past 13 years

I look at this TT forum and think, "man, what am I getting myself into?!?! -- these guys have this obsession for decades or longer!"

[johnnyrichards]

I am an avid enthusiast and collector - I lack discipline to try and be a pro. Only audio stuff I get paid for is running sound, and that has not happened for a year, I might have priced myself out of the game lol.
