Re: I have not had any problem

I could see a number of variables that would impact whether a fan would affect your sound. This could include: number of blades, blade pitch and design, fan diameter, fan speed, ceiling height, room size, location of fan relative to speakers & listening position. I think the key is whether the moving air is still in pulsed waves in the sound field or the air flow has blended well enough to act as a continuous stream at that point.

As noted before, I probably would not have noticed if my fan was only run on low speed, though I do think there is still a small effect. A slightly different room configuration or a different model of fan and the results may have been different.

As with many situations like this, each person is going to have to do their own experiments to see if it is an issue for them.
