Fahrenheit, that is. During winter months, during a sunny day with the south-facing window drinking in sunshine and the BAT vk-500 doing its normal space heater duties, the listening room can stay furnace-off all day.55 degrees Fahrenheit year-round would be my ideal! I was born for Nova Scotia or something.
But I only tip the temp up on bitter and windy days. House can't hold heat below 10 degrees F.
Both houses I've had, did not have insulation and were century+ homes. I also do not like modern windows. I need a draft.
I've had this quirk ever since I was a kid. As a teen I would get yelled at b/c I liked to have the window next to my bed open even in dead winter.
Maybe 30 or 40 dollars a month gas heating. Even in January.
I wear finger gloves like a modern day Jacob Marley. I sleep in my arctic rated sleeping bag during the raw months. Window cracked.
[edit: liking a drafty house, I could be fancy and try to argue, an acoustically under-complaint listening room is no match for an acoustically high-complaint one. Less of a "boxy" sound lol.]
