   It is -36 Celsius outside, audio room is cold. For me I believe it makes audio sound better, but I got to keep my feet warm.

How about you, does extreme cold outside change your listening habits? :smoke:

For me no. As long as I am warm, I am okay. I hate being cold.

I am looking out of my window now and we have a snow blizzard going on in the UK at the moment.

Yep, makes perfect sense that your system sounds different in a cold room. Sound changes based on a lot of factors including temp, air pressure and humidity. Thats why its important in any critical indoor music venue that all those factors be controlled  i.e., a concert hall or critical listening room.

I think the forced air heating systems most of us have going off makes far more difference than the room temperature.  By pure luck and happenstance my listening room has an extraordinarily quiet system that drifts warm air through the room.

And where in hell do you live that it's regularly -36 C?  You should move.  :D

Now its -40 C an Artic Front is moving in.

There is a benefit to extreme cold, no termites. I don't like extreme cold but I'll take it over big snow dumps that youse guys get down East. And the West Coast I'd worry about dropping in the Ocean.
