There is at least one thing everybody here agrees on, and that is - "A music system is as good as the room it is in"

But having a room designed specifically for your system may not be a realistic possibility for a lot of us. Just wanted to get a general idea of where the systems are usually set up...please share if you wish to...

I'll go first...

Currently we are staying in an apartment that has one room too many for the two of us so for the moment I have the luxury of having a dedicated room for my system

Acoustically, its not that great. In fact, its pretty unwieldy that way...but at least it does not get in the way of others and I can listen to it without constant disturbance

Ditto here..i got a dedicated room ..actually two rooms..
One is purely for HT and the other is for stereo..
The stereo room dimensions are 11X18X9.5 and the one for HT is about 12.5X16.75X9.5. Acoustically , the HT room is pretty good but lots of space for improvement. the stereo room is good but needs some improvement and proper speaker/couch placement.

For me its our living room, but incidentally its more dedicated towards audio than anything else. It has more audio related stuffs (electronics, speakers, CDs, cables) lying around than living room components (sofas, center table, lamps, decorative stuffs)

.
Even the positioning of the speakers takes higher priority over other aesthetics. Currently I am using a diagonal positioning

. Love the sound

I forgot to mention that this room was my bedroom

...my dad turned it into a stereo room after i left..

The setup currently in the 'stereo' room is my DIY active 3 ways with the DIY DAC and the HK DVD 30 as the transport.

Hi Folks,
Somehow I feel that the idea of a dedicated listening room is a bit anti-social. I would much rather have my system in the living room instead. This way, friends can come by and talk over a mozart concerto. The children also get to listen to music other than what they get on tv.

Isn’t that like eating a Gourmet meal while reading a newspaper ?

A small 11 ft dedicated room for music - not great acoustically but not too bad either. I can work, surf, relax and listen to music. I get the peaceful moments that I most need at the end of a crazy day.

The second system & HT system is in living room for the kids to create all their noise.

At my friend's place in Chennai:
An AC-equipped 12" x 9" room for the stereo set: quiet and peaceful, except for inquisitive cats! Being in a bungalow means the ability to chill through the night!
