Ceiling fan in listening room?

I have a high end, very quiet fan in my room, the ceiling is 14 ft high. I am wondering if the fan will actually help attenuate the sound sent as it is deflecting the waves away from the ceiling. I run it a the lowest speed. The music sounds fine when i have it on. Anybody have thoughts on this?

A ceiling fan will modulate the air and effect the sound quality. How much? That's for you to figure out. It may not be an issue for many.

Several years ago, a piano tuner (I only use tuners that tune by ear, not with a machine) was over to tune my Steinway. After a few hours he was pulling out his hair; could not get the job done. I noticed the ceiling fan was on. Just for the heck of it, I turned off the ceiling fan. He finished the job in about 15 minutes. So there you have it.

My listening room is upstairs in a house in middle Georgia. My gear is running about 1 kW at idle.  I found a DC motor ceiling fan that spins at 52 rpm on low.  It is a must in the summertime here.  This is the third ceiling fan I have had in this room and by far the quietest and least obtrusive.  

@rbanathy This works surprisingly well in my room. On a side table near listening seat, at lower speeds it's dead quiet and for cost & easy returns, it's worth a try. It's basically a knockoff of the Dyson that sells for ~triple the price.

I had to pull mine out of room, huge fan blades messed with sound stage.
