Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?

Hi everyone,

The ceiling fans generate a large wind in the center of my listening room....Duh.

The tweeter's tiny movements are minuscule especially when compared to the giant fan blade motion. 

I think this is affecting the quality of sound. To me, this seems similar to trying to watch the ripples from a pebble through a boat wake. The ripples get lost in the larger waves. 

Of course I can turn on the A/C, but that has a whole other set of noise issues. 

What do you think?  Do you hear a difference when the ceiling fan is on?

Thanks,

geoffkait and czarivey,
It appears that I rattled some chains.  The op had a question and you two ankle biters decided to assault him with your "snarling" sense of humor and "biting" sarcasm.  Based on your responses to me and others, it is clear that I am dealing with  a couple who possess supreme intelligence and extraordinarily quick wit.  Certainly too much for me to compete with.  I bow to your greatness and superiority.

Not sure I feel as if my chains were rattled however I do have a slight sense of creepiness. I hear that Czarivey is easily rattled, though.  ;-)

OP,  ceiling fans and AC blowers definitely affect the sound. Remember, sound is air in motion. I keep my fan on low to medium speed. 

Just kick back and enjoy the music :-)

Very good. An acknowledgement is always appreciated. Learning is never late.

As always, Geoff, you're missing point, but as before mentioned, learning is never late.
