What is the best 2 channel listening chair?


I've been using a Ames lounge chair for years, it looks and feels good ...but it's a little low...l was ready for an upgrade. I was reading you should avoid chairs that are higher that the shoulder, but l will choose comfort first,nothing too bulky,no theater seats.I recently purchased a Human touch pc610 (optioned out).So far its been fantastic.Any input or ideas on this subject would be appreciated.

Eames w/ottoman replica has worked very well for audio listening. I liked them so much, at one point we had two in the HT room and another for 2-ch. My advice, pay the extra and get full-grain leather. None of them delaminated, but the lesser covering quality scratched more easily - pets. They are extremely comfortable for long sessions, the aesthetic fits everywhere, and the design is an endless classic.

Things change, the pair was sold, and the remaining set lives in the living room (3rd system), and an audio-friendly sofa allows multi listening in the 2-ch room (center-stage isn't so necessary to enjoy LXmini speakers).

If Ihad a dedicated solo listening room, the Eames w/ottoman would be there.

If you want to go on the cheap so to speak, look at gaming chairs. I found one from Sams that works great in a small room I have for one of my systems. I love it!

A simple test to decide whether you want/need (or not) a high back chair is to cup your hands behind your ears while listening. If it sounds better, then your seat is likely a good distance from the wall behind you and you you want the reinforcement

Maybe it is just me.  The Poang that many attest does not suit my back because of its s-curve back support design.  It causes my neck/ shoulder pain.
