.... hi end audio for music and hi end video IS very expensive. However, it pays heaps of dividends in added pleasure to home entertainment. I'm an opera buff and have invested a lot in operatic LDs and have a few DVDs as well as other performances, orchestral, ballet, choral etc. Yes, and I have also succumbed to movies.

All of this viewed/listened to through a hi end system can be hair raising via good software. So I advocate putting all resources into the one combined system. To have top audio in one room and so-so audio in another HT room is a waste of resources & effort IMO.

However I concede that domestic problems such as lack of partner's enthusiasm for audio, speakers etc can make life difficult for an audioholic and different rooms might be a necessity for that music fix.

To each his (or her) own. Just as well we all have different tastes and needs. Otherwise the world would be a very boring place.
