Removing the fan altogether would be the better thing to do, but I can imagine the problems with heat in St. Louis.

Actually I do have a switching amp (Bel Canto S300) and now that the issue has been identified it is certainly no big deal to turn the fan off when listening. The HVAC doesn't directly bother the sound the way the ceiling fan does.
Does your room have windows that open? Do they affect the sound quality? Finally, do you prefer to listen when the A/C is on?
We don't open the windows much in the listening room. As far as the central HVAC system, it doesn't affect the sound in the same way. It adds a little background white noise when running, but as a steady ambient sound, is not distracting to me.The ceiling fan is disturbing because it adds a fluttering sound that is especially noticeable with certain types of music and instruments.
