Door is always open, logs in the fireplace act as a diffuser, and yes, if I let my wife cuddle up with me in the listening chair, she doesn't mind too much. Ideally, I would make a built-in, and do some other stuff with diffusers, I've just been a. too lazy and b. too into tuning a BMW 335i I bought. But if I had the time, I would make it more integrated.
