No fair that Angela has an ocean!
I have a dedicated room that has french doors behind me to cut off the outside world. I have a fireplace, with my equipment lined up on the stone raised hearth. The fireplace takes up the full area between the speakers. I have a Charles Russell knock-off painting above the mantle with a great horned sheep scull next to it. I have my grandfathers 1890 wind up train in the center of the mantle and a couple nick-nacks that hold special memories. There is a bear skin rug (sorry peta, family airlum) between the speakersand me. In each corner 7' behind the speackers is a single small window. Inbetween the southeast window and the speaker is an 8' tree/plant. I love it but I've had alot of friends wonder why I don't use the fireplace. Simple, it would be really hard on the powercords.
