So, the questions: How many of you have a dedicated listening 'room'?

Why?

If not, why not?

Yes, I have a dedicated listening room. Actually, the room (about 15' x
28') has two
purposes: a artist's studio for painting, and a listening room.

Why? No one else likes classical music as I do. This room allows me to
listen to what I want when I want. It also keeps paint fumes away from the
rest of the house.

Because my easel is set up at one end under a skylight, surround sound has
not been attempted. I have added several layers of used carpeting on the
floor and 32 sq. ft.
of sound conditioning on the wall and ceilings to defeat the most obvious
reflecting
surfaces. The room sounds pretty good, and--if I were truly dedicated about
it--could be further improved since there are no decor limitations.

Best wishes,

Ed Presson
