MOOG Minimoog and EMS Synthi-AKS. Why ? The powerful sound of the Mini (more explanation won't be necessary I suppose...) and the modular versatility (and great sounds of course) of the Synthi.
A third would be the CS-80. Richness of sound, and great control features (polyphonic aftertouch, ribbon controller, etc...)

Sequential VS and ARP 2500. If I was to pare down what I've got it would be Voyager and VFXsd. (I'd get to keep the Hammond and Piano as they aren't 'synths' in the general use of the word.)

I asked my Voyager, Virus, and Nord Stage whether one of them would be willing to go and they all want to stay. So no way for me to do without one of them. I therefore decided to tag the Nord Stage "piano" which enables me to keep both the two synths and the piano.

I'm down to a 3 synth setup these days so if I had to lose one more sadly it would be the Voyager. The Andromeda and modular will do.

1) Minimoog Voyager Old School
2) Prophet 08 Potentiometer Edition

I use both of these instruments, and they make a beautiful combination. Their tones are similar enough so that they blend together very well.

A CP-251 Moogerfooger for added modulation on the Voyager, and a set of bass pedals powered by a MoPho or Tetra would really round out this set up nicely.

For those who don't mind repetition, another nice set up would include TWO Prophet 08's. One could be used for chordal/accompaniment playing (expanded to twelve-voice capacity with a Tetra), while the other could do double duty between unison and poly modes. And don't forget the bass pedals.

1) Moog Voyager
2) DSI PolyEvolver Rack

So much power, such a small footprint :) Have been very productive with these two, lately - run the PER as 4 mono synths, for a total of 5 voices. Silly fun...crazy amounts of real-time control in the PER engine & patches, if not the panel...Voyager is a dream controller, too.

Alternate, to step in if #1 or #2 can not fulfill their duties: Roland Jupiter-8. With the Kenton Pro-DCB interface, you can get some groovy things happening with syncing the random arpeggiator to MIDI clock...NOT a complete solution MIDI-wise, but not bad for plug-and-play.
