Where do you sit?


When you listen to music, where do you like to sit?

On the floor? Beanbag? Rocking chair? Sofa?

We just put a convertible sofa/bed in our new music room, and I must tell you it is by far the best tweak or upgrade you can possible get!

So where do you guys and gals set your posteriors for music enjoyment? After all, that is the payoff of this crazy addiction, and the best seat in the house!

Vdub: You really only notice the "bean" noise when you are stoned out of your mind. For those who have not "kept on trucking" (granted that they do not abuse Nutmeg) I can't imagine this being a problem. I could never get into the "bean bags", but do have a pair of the original "umbrella" chairs, which are lousy for listening due to the side wings. My "all time" favorite listening chair (in the near field as mentioned above) is a French Riviera folding wrought iron chair with a woven seat, fold up arm rests and a low heart shaped back (also woven). The only downside is that it is on the heavy side, but it is also extremely comfortable as well as acoustically correct for this application. I used to have a chair fetish, but moved on to vintage Kirby vacuum cleaners (the ones with thick aluminum housings and red bags:-).
Well, I'll consider the beanbag thing. I do have a barber chair, though. I suppose it would make a good listening chair, but it's way the heck too heavy to lug into the living room. I guess I'll continue sitting on the overstuffed loveseat and strategically positioning my two dogs in the room to break up any errant reflections. Now if they could only push buttons and twist dials...
An old Morriss chair with cushions sculpted to keep my head pitched vertically to allow rear reflections. Yet I still fall asleep!
My purple and black leather sofa.......or on the floor leaning back against the sofa..... or sometimes I sit in a "near field" position right in between the two speakers. It's almost like wearing headphones but there's nothing uncomfortable rubbing up against your ears.
