yeah geoffkait...how’s it feel to be schooled by a bunch of kids?...chuckle...dude

It smells like teen spirit...dude

I pondered this very question for quite a while and then purchased a anti-gravity chair for like $40. The cosmetics will not receive any awards, however it is surprisingly comfortable. There does not appear to be much that would adversely affect the sound quality, even with the high back. 
So how does it sound? IDK because I need to do a room conversion to implement the audition of this chair. Perhaps some other member who has listened with one could offer the pros and cons of this value chair.

teen spirit....he,he...kool

@lpretiring My zero gravity "Perfect Chair" is very comfy.  It's suited better for remote control operation because once I am fully relaxed and settled in, it becomes annoying to get up and out of the chair. Unless your turntable is beside the chair, getting up every twenty minutes or so isn't my idea of a placid listening session. Also, I often forget that the remote is resting on my lap and when I get up, it clatters across the floor. 

It's a great chair to watch TV, providing the screen is high enough to see above my toes when I am fully reclined. 

For serious listening, I think something along the lines of the Eames chair would be perfect. A big comfy seat with an ottoman for leg support and a side table with a lamp and a vibration resistant coaster. 

dbtom2, Thanks for the correct name for this type of chair, Zero Gravity. 
My guess is this chair will have little, if any affect on the acoustic signature of the room. The headrest cushion might need to be removed or customized though.
For turntable use especially in the fully reclining position pertaining to convenience I agree there are much better choices.
