Do You Have a Dedicated Listening Room or System? Share Your Setup!

I've always been curious about how many of us have dedicated spaces or systems exclusively for our music listening pleasure. It's fascinating to see the variety of setups and how they reflect our individual preferences and love for sound.
Personally, I use my living room as my listening salon. It's cozy and acoustically pleasing to my ears. My gear includes a McIntosh C22 preamp paired with an MC2105 amp, and the sound is beautifully delivered through Sonus faber Lumina speakers. It's my little haven for music.
I'd love to hear about your setups! Do you have a dedicated room, or have you integrated your system into a shared space like I have? What gear are you using, and why did you choose it? Whether it's a minimalist setup or a full-blown audiophile shrine, every detail counts!
Share your stories and let's inspire each other with our passion for music and sound.
Looking forward to your responses!

My "system" (amp, speakers, 100 disc changer, turntable) is set up in our front room/second living room, which also doubles as my WFH office.
It is not optimized for sound (rectangular and open on both far ends), but it works fine for cranking tunes when I don't have meetings. I'll sit in there and read sometimes on the weekends..
My stuff isn't high-end, it's all mid to lower-end name brand stuff. But it gets plenty loud enough when I want it to.

Downvote away but I've found I love listening to music with AirPods (or whatever headphones you like) much more than on a sound system. You can hear so many nuances in the music that you wouldn't pick up on otherwise. It's your own little world......

A dedicated room is only a dream.
College days were top notch with high voltage quality in a dorm room.

In process of building one in our basement. Purchased a Pioneer sx737 receiver in great shape. Looking for turntable and some bookshelf speakers now.

I think there's pro's and cons of both. You hear more detail but can't feel the bass in your bones and get physically blasted by the music the way you can on a speaker system. Every time I start to agree with you and get hooked on pods, a song on speaker comes along and hits me different and I have to re evaluate. Then we go back the other way.
And it's not just bass. I've found I actually like solo piano classical music better on speakers. There's not really noise to distinguish through, it's solo piano. You'd think it'd be far more suited to headphones and the "personal" experience but there's something about the richness and atmosphere speakers create with that music. Maybe a little distortion is good and it's a little too tinny in the headphones.
