In a couple of month I'll be building my own house. As a two channel purist, I'm torn between my audiophilia and nomal tendencies in either designing a dedicate audio-room versus integrating the listening space into the general living areas in some contemporary/ultra modern sort of way (inspired by some of the architectural designs I've seen which are probably not very acoustically sound. Obviously this is a very personal decision, but I'd like to hear some general views.Given a choice, which way would you go and why?
ps: If it matters, I'm an early-30s urban professional with no wife or kids yet, and don't expect any for a couple of years.
