Make the space

First a lot of good answers and I'll join the crowd and say if you have a chance for a dedicated space, do it. Where else could you do the tweaks and room treatments to make the sound as good as possible?

I'd get a smaller second system for the living room, that's where you'll do a lot of listening with friends, plus the important social background or "while cooking" listening.

I have something similar, a CD simple system upstairs and a SET single driver vinyl based system downstairs. I still have kids so I have not been able to optimize a semi-private areas, but some day....

In any event, for me the bottom line is there is only one way to get the best system performance and the best social performance? A dedicated room and a socially oriented 'lil-system. That's the one to wreck with a big TV in the middle.

One other point that you did not mention, if you do have audiophile friends, they'd prefer bunching up in the dedicated room. If you ever plan to have a wife (or feel like practicing)
she'd prefer not to be surrounded by Stonehenge or the Crypt Keeper's coffins - so do both!
