I'm guessing that the reason you don't have both in the same room would be a conflict over watching vs. listening?

I have one room for both, but since I'm retired, I can listen whenever. Of course, being retired means your so old that you're
hearing impaired ;-D

After reading the post about ceilings being unnatural to humans' hearing, I'm wondering if bonus rooms that all have a ceiling that conforms to a roof makes them like an echo chamber.

Hi, I too am retired and there really are two reasons why both are not in the same room. I found that connecting the video to the stereo always either degraded the sound or caused interference. Second I like to listen at time the TV would be in use. Thus the need for two rooms. Nice thing about it is that no one bothers my stuff now and if I want to park a speaker in the middle of the room no one bothers it. I no longer get any of the "why did you do that" comments. Smile

Good Listening

I understand completely. My wife, who normally doesn't bother my equipment, decided to watch a DVD and the receiver was set for CD.

I came in and she was poking buttons and turning knobs on the receiver. I'm afraid I went ballistic, saying don't ever fool with that receiver, you can change something that might take me an hour to figure out.

I was polite, but there are so many settings that can be changed by the bump of a button, that I can't remember what each does.

I guess if I had kids, I'd have to put a lock on the door.

I would put some type of treatment at first reflection point. Also, if I recall correctly, slow turning ceiling fans were used in studios to break up standing waves.....
