Although I have a room that is dedicated to HT and stereo (it does have a computer in it), there is still a compromise because of the location of the door to the room and the alcove leading to a dressing area, walk-in closet, and bath -- it's designed to be a bedroom. The room is roughly 14' X 19', and I would prefer that the LR speakers be more than 4' from the rear wall, but then one would stand in the doorwayr. I think compromise is usual.
We live in a small town adjacent to Santa Barbara, CA where the median price home is over $2.4 million and the mean is reported to be around $3.3 million. There are no listings in 6 figures. But if you move inland to CA's answer to TX, you can find homes in the low 6 figures, and the ocean is less than a half hour drive. We are a block from the beach
