Nope, but we do have a box room which used to be a bathroom and has several hifi amps, a pair of mission speakers a PA system, a mixing desk, 5 guitars and my vinyl collection in it.... I couldn't be arsed lifting that lot up and down a ladder to the loft. The loft is where the cardboard boxes live.

I did in the past but dumped/gave away most of it (mostly dumped admittedly).
Absolutely no point in storing machines that you do not use anymore...

I'm sorted.
Just LP12, GL78 & Akai AP003 turntables in the boy's room (destined for loft) & only one set of speakers not being used (JBL Control ones) which I intend to sell but lack of inertia keeps getting in the way.

When I started out in this crazy hobby, still at home, the only space to get a system going was in my mums loft. I boarded it out, moved the hatch from the bedroom to inside a store cupboard, and access was ladders only in a house with 11ft high ceilings.
I had IMF TLS80's, driven by a pair of Sugden P51 amps, a Sondex pre, and AR legend, along with circa 7000 lp's. All in the loft of a 2 up/2 down terrace. Happy days!
I'm no stranger to lofts lol.
The only kit I have in my loft right now is a pair of foundation stands and a few bits of very old Meridian component stuff that has stayed up there, untested, for about 15 years. The eves are stuffed with boxes.
The 3rd bedroom is the store room, that thankfully is getting emptier as I thin the herd.
Bits:
Amps:
Avondale
Analogue:
Acoustic Signature Analogue 1 mkIII
Gold Note PH10
Digital:
Resolution Audio Opus21
Speakers:
AudioNote J

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
