Have you ever moved to improve your system

I rented a condo for 1 year to see if I could live there. No way. Looked around for some time and found a fair sized town home that that was made of brick. This was good until it got a little late. My current house is a nice 3 bedroom ranch with a full basement. If I do move again,the audio is always in mind.

I did, actually. I moved to this house because I wanted a better room for my stereo system. I really loved my last house, but I knew I could get better sound with a bigger room that wasn't long and relatively narrow. The room I now use doesn't seem ideal when you consider that there are wide openings on one side and the back, but, for some reason, it does produce very good sound. I did install some acoustic panels on the walls and the corners, though just enough to damp some reflections. I probably could have done better with the room, but, though the desire for a better room for the system was the reason for moving, I also wanted a house I would be happy living in. All in all, it turned out fine, even with the compromise.

I moved a couple of times and most of the times where I could find a place for my rig.

I literally moved across the street from one townhouse to another who's only difference is an unfinished lower level that I intended to become a stereo / play room. As the rest of the townhouse was identical, we just told the movers to put everything in the same place - they were a little perplexed. They also had a hard time figuring out "them wierd speakers" (ML-SL-3's) that were to go down in that unfinished room.
One we moved in I had dedicated electrical circuits installed, outlets everywhere, a wet bar, and the whole none yards to make the room self sufficient for long listening sessions.
It worked out fairly well as you can see from the system photos.

Every rented home and later every purchased home had to meet certain criteria for audio during my marriage of 32 years. IMO, not doing so shows a lack of intelligence and taking charge of your life. If you love music enough and want it to remain central to your life you should give it the consideration it deserves. I do feel for audiophiles that live in areas where rental/purchase costs prohibit being so selective. I've been lucky to live where housing has always been plentiful, spacious and affordable.
