Just had a Testarosso with Angels Envy neat the other day thinking about this very subject.

Its my favorite time to listen to music so vinyl would be a must but would only bring in the LP itself and leave the rest out of the room.

I would also have to have some form of quiet ventilation to suck some of the smoke out.

Two chairs is enough, that's enough conversation for the moment.

Smaller floor standers next to fireplace or a window with a view, either is fine.

No TV is fine with me.

No gashes unless partaking and going by the code.

Actually this is perfect for a little 70's retro system I am putting together.

Of course the best backdrop for all this is a massive thunder storm going on and sitting out on the porch, I am sure Ed can relate.
