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?

I guess I can see it both ways. For example: At the moment I'm trying to read all of these responses while listening to a great Roy Eldridge record. Simultaneously I'm being peppered with questions about appropriate cooking times for a chicken..... Guess what I'm only half listening too?

On the whole though, I think this arrangement works pretty well. Besides, I think i'd feel a little antisocial if I scurried off to my little hole all alone.

Chad, Since I know you're in the process of building your dedicated room, I'll be curious to hear how that works out in six months or so.

Thanks for all the interesting response.
