Listening 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.

My years old Scan recliner is my favorite. IT looks something like This

I just got an inversion table. Can't wait to see how things sound hanging upside down... :^)

Well, one of the OPs main questions was: what is the better material to use in a chair?

Leather? or does it echo too much? especially around your ears
Fabric? (wool, cotton): less slap echo? better diffusion?

I'm also in the market for a listening chair. I love the Milo Baughman reproduction recliner I have (in black pleather), but I'm afraid the height of the chair (above ear level) provides some slap echo.
