My room is approx. 26x20x10, with the ceiling sloping from a height of 10ft along one long wall to 8ft along the opposite long wall. It is also our living room. Most of the gear is located in a closet just outside the room. Speakers and turntable are the only gear in the room. The room also serves for HT as well, but the only gear common to the two setups are the front speakers and the power amp. I use a pre/pro for the HT (Sunfire TGII) and a separate pre for 2 channel. The amp (Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature) has both XLR and RCA inputs so I can keep 2 channel and HT signals apart. My Audio Research SP9 MKII pre feeds the front RCA inputs on the amp, and the Sunfire TGII processor feeds the amp's five channel inputs via XLR. I have a 52" RPTV between and behind the speakers, but keep it covered with an oriental rug unless a film is running. The processor also feeds a sub used only for LFE during movies. Rear speakers are Magnepan MMG, fronts are Magnepan MGIIIA.
CD, SACD, DVD and processor are controlled by a Phillips Pronto/Niles RP6+ infrared repeater system. Room is carpeted wall to wall, with oriental area rugs, windows on one long wall, woodburning stove set into the fireplace on the other long wall, and various live Ficus trees and Palm trees placed for diffusion/absorbtion abilities behind and to the sides of the MGIIIA speakers. 20 amp dedicated power lines on 10 gauge Romex are run from the service panel to Hubbell Hospital grade outlets in the equipment closet. Turntable runs on it's own outlet in the main room via a Virtual Dynamics Power 3 power cord. And, most important piece of gear in the dry, cold winter: a Bionaire humidifier running behind the listening area to keep down the static electricity and provide moisture to the room.
