Seems weird...but if I get the chance, I will listen to it loud and in complete darkness.
I do what Sonic does. In fact I'm standing right behind her at the time
Seriously though. When I finally get the chance with new music, I'll sit on the living room couch and listen to my stereo set up with no other distractions. I don't shut my eyes though as I'll be staring out at the water which adds to my relaxation. Although, the outdoors can provide it own distractions.
Eventually, I'll try it out in the HT room with 5.1 and the sub assisting. I'm not a purist either way. There is some stuff I enjoy more up in stereo and others that I find more engulfing down in the HT environment.
