Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?

Hi everyone,

The ceiling fans generate a large wind in the center of my listening room....Duh.

The tweeter's tiny movements are minuscule especially when compared to the giant fan blade motion. 

I think this is affecting the quality of sound. To me, this seems similar to trying to watch the ripples from a pebble through a boat wake. The ripples get lost in the larger waves. 

Of course I can turn on the A/C, but that has a whole other set of noise issues. 

What do you think?  Do you hear a difference when the ceiling fan is on?

Thanks,

mapman,
I thought it was clear that the op had heard something different when the fan was on versus off.  I felt he was looking for some confirmation that this might be feasible, not just his ears playing tricks on him.  If you thought that he hadn't done the comparison, I apologize.  Likewise, I am sorry to be putting you in the company that I did.

geoffkait and czarivey,
It appears that I rattled some chains.  The op had a question and you two ankle biters decided to assault him with your "snarling" sense of humor and "biting" sarcasm.  Based on your responses to me and others, it is clear that I am dealing with  a couple who possess supreme intelligence and extraordinarily quick wit.  Certainly too much for me to compete with.  I bow to your greatness and superiority.

mapman, czarivey, and geoffkait are three barking dogs who would rather discuss the directionality of fuses ad nauseam.  This question is a little too complex for these head roarers.
