Listening Chair?

Notec,
I have been using the Ikea Poang since 2004. Though I love it, the wife and kids want space in my room and I have been thinking of replacing it with either a love seat or small sofa. What advantages did you get with the sofa compared to the Poang chair?

whatever chair you buy, do an experiment.

listen in your chair, and then play the same lp or cd, this time, listening on the floor.

see if you hear a difference, especially in the high frequencies.

i have a basic folding chair. its height is 17 inches. add 27 inches and the total length 44 inches is the distance between my ears and the floor.

as for chair type. i prefer to keep it simple, using a bridge chair.

Milpai - the advantages for me are I can "cuddle" with the ones I love when listening to music, I can stretch out and have "stuff" around me while listening and I can play my guitar(s) more comfortably etc...

Mainly, me and my girl can sit close and both be in the sweet spot.

Try the Nordic recliner from IMG Norway. They sell them at Scan Interior. Mine is used from them for about $600. A lot cheaper than the Stressless and seems just as good.

My Ikea "Poang" has been comfy and reliable, you should try it too.
