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,

Actually I’d rather not discuss fuse direction at all and would not if not for some others who are obsessed with such trivial things and try to waste time of others accordingly.

Regarding a ceiling fan, another trivial issue I would not worry about but someone asked so not hard to try both ways and see for one’s self if it makes a difference rather than just talking about it.  Same true for fuse directions if someone really cares enough to try.  

I agree talking/barking accomplishes nothing.

Please correct me if I'm out of line here but isn't there a forum protocol that forbids cross thread stalking?

I don't notice a difference with the fan running.  It is a five blade fan and when it is off I prefer the odd blade pointing forward.  I prefer the symmetry and psychologically think it sounds better that way.

abnerjack, 
I concur as well to your observation and even agree to some point, but noted in my long past that only pig can call me a dog. Please check mirror.
