fiogf49gjkf0d More kids? Basically, bigger is better as far as accommodating a family AND hi-fi, IMO. I include my own family life experience along with my hi-fi/listening experience when I suggest a large, "available" room for listening, as well. In other words, this room is basically for listening, but it is not at all "off limits" for the family; in fact, they are specifically "invited" in. The typical modern house has a "great room" that usually includes the kitchen, and this type of room could serve... in a pinch. But it has worked out best for me, personally, when I've had a room that was "accessible" but did not literally include the kitchen, and the others in the house have had places where they could "get away" from my Wagner, etc., and at the same time they would not bother me when they went about other business as I listened. Square footage wise, I am in 3,500 square feet with 2 others in this house right now, on 1 level, and I have to say, I like it. I wish my listening room were bigger, but the idea is good for family living, IMO. I know in the East it's all about the number of rooms, but don't underestimate the value and specific configuration of space when considering a home for family and hi-fi, together.
Best regards,
Paul S
