In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?

Post Subject: Sometimes basement is not just a basement, stlil....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 7/6/2016

Well, this basement is certainly not a basement with “sweaty walls and floors”. It is perfectly finished and in addition to everything it has its own (not just a zone but asset of completely dedicated and isolated from the rest of the house) heater, AC, humidifier and center dehumidifier. So, the climate condition is not truly a subject in the subject.

What I am not sure is if I want a Video room in isolation to the rest of the family leaving. A basement is for all intended purpose a floor away from what we all live, so I am not wild with idea that we need to go somewhere to watch anything. My formal idea of integrated Listening room is not defeated but modified. In our old home the Listening room was severally compromised by baby and then we dedicated a whole Opera room to be the child playroom. That was not fun but let us to go by. In new house I will have my own “wing” that is very much extension of my integrated listening room idea. So, we have in the new home a large family room with all equipment in there and ability to listen music (in high end way) and to watch TV. The difference this time that we adults and kids will have other room to live and play and the Listening room will not have a second duty. The Listening room also is very nicely located, it is integrated to house but still sit a bit aside.

Now is the basement. If I put video in the basement then it will be very beneficial for listening room as I would not need to integrate video equipment with Macondo. However, it would require to go to watch video to “other floor” which is a major pain in ass. We frequently had dinner in your Opera room during watching films and I very much would like the same live integration for Video as I am planning to have it for Audio. The basement 41' video room is basically a dedicated /isolated room and this would be a main problem to me as I see it.

Well, as now all audio and video siting in the middle of the listening room in boxes and I am not where to unpack them….
