How isolated is your hi-fi?

I'm thinking of dedicated rooms, not component stands. I was looking at some of the "All Out Assault" rooms in the virtual systems section, and while some of them are impressive they are all isolated. It occurs to me that if I had a dedicated room I'd probably never use it because I'd be sitting in there by myself. I use our family room and the hi-fi is just something we make room for. It isn't the perfect accoustic setup, but my wife and I enjoy listening to it. I take the noise of the ice maker or banging pots and pans from the kitchen in the next room in stride.

Anyone else ever consider this scenario?

We're empty nesters so I don't have to share with anyone or anything. Well, except my pool table. My wife and I are much happier having our separate spaces to enjoy what we each enjoy. We're not worried about growing apart since we still do plenty of stuff together. We watch a lot of sports together and dine out often. After 32 years of marriage, who else would want either of us anyway? ;-)

I am starting to address the "man cave" look. A few LP covers in frames, lots of wood since I've build my own racks and speakers. But I am starting to consider some color. The off-white drywall is getting old and the room could use some new curtains.
