In Reply to: Why have a special (rarely used) room? posted by John C. - Aussie on December 19, 2002 at 14:31:17:
We're fortunate in that the house we purchased in March 2002 has a large "bonus" room that was added above the garage. It shares only about 4' of wall with the rest of the house and is rather set apart. It doubles as a play room for our 2-year-old.1) Aesthetics. My wife doesn't like to see home theater gear in her "living" space. We have a second audio set-up and TV downstairs, but they live behind the disappearing doors of nice-looking furniture.
2) Privacy. Sometimes we like to watch films that our little girl shouldn't be watching (R-rated) and this way we can see them if she's in bed. It works in reverse, too, since I don't necessarily want to see "Shrek" for the 99th time.
3) Duplication. In the case of #2 above, or when there is a good (American) football game on, various members of the family and whatever friends are over can watch multiple shows.
4) Room dimensions, layout, accoutrements. With its hardwood floors, our upstairs room is bright for music but fine for home theater, whereas the downstairs, with more curtains and rugs and furniture, offers much better acoustics for music.
Those are my reasons; there may be others.
