Listening Chairs

For years I've sat in a Ekornes "Stressless" chair that does rise in the back to ear level. I really like the chair for listening and I don't find the height of the back of the chair to be an issue, notwithstanding the conventional wisdom on this issue. I think the specific model I have is the "President" model.

eckornes ...the only listening chair

The Room & Board Roadster chair with footrest - I'm short too so this is the chair I will buy when I can afford it. I definitely has the look and is oh so comfortable.

For those that are taller, Palliser has some chairs that are similar to the Ekornes chair, but less expensive (I think).

My personal choice is for Ekornes, I do happen to own 2 of them. Key metric is right they do tend to cost a little more, but remember some of us spend well over 30K on our gear and when we sit down to enjoy our system you should sit in something that truely helps us releive the stress of the day. There are many good manufacters but if you want the best go Ekornes, just my 2 cents. David

Personally, I would avoid using a chair especially made for HT. I'd rather put my money toward build quality than toward gold-plated cup holders!
