Listening Chair?

I'm doing a complete overhaul to my current two-channel music room, and just wanted to know what brand and type of comfortable listening chair you use, is it cloth, leather and comfortable? I'm trying to find something that is modern looking, that is comfortable and does not have a rear seat height more then 38" high. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

LeCorbusier Petit Tuxedo. Why? Because that guy in the Maxwell tape ad uses it. With Ellen Grey cocktail table. Just cant get my SET to play loudly enough.

Recliners are not for napping and being lazy, but not for serious active listening. You will lose the fight to stay alert and attentive in the reclining position. With a proper chair you will have improved perception of low level details, provided that your lower back is vertical and your head is in line with your back or even inclined a bit forward. I speak from experience- you should be comfortable but not too comfortable, with good posture. Otherwise the little hairs on the back of your neck will never stand up!
