I don't have a separate music room, so my main music system is right in the family room with my home theater/general TV watching setup that my kids are using all the time.
But the music and HT systems are completely separate (electronics, speakers, subs) and kids not allowed to touch the music stuff.
Regarding subs, I use a REL S5 for music and unwilling to each time HT/Tv being watched by me or family to disconnect/reconnect the sub from my integrated amp to my receiver behind the rack, so I prefer to just use an older Energy sub that I had for HT, and it does a fine job there.
This way never have to reconnect anything, kids are clear on what they can operate and what they cannot, and I get highest quality music in general area of house.
Would 2 subs perhaps sound better for either application? Maybe, but unwilling to go to that amount of effort when listening time is already short in a busy work/family/spouse filled week.
