Check out "The Oslo Collection" by MAC MOTION CHAIRS. They have quite a few models of leather recliners with memory foam (+ ottoman). One of their models resembles a Recaro racing seat. All of my guest(s) make a b-line for that chair, and for good reason!
What do you sit on?
As my system has improved I am spending more time listening but my "sweet spot" is not as comfortable as I would like. I'm looking at new chairs, recliners, etc. This is one topic I have not seen discussed on Audiogon. What kind of chair, perhaps what specific manufacturers are favored by experienced audiophiles? Maybe a little crowd sourcing in this area might turn up some overlooked gems in the way of listening room furniture.

- I bought my wife a saddle chair for her dental hygiene work, it's really quite good for her sitting 8 hours a day hunched over patients. Made in Norway! |
@tt1man.....*S* Elegant chair, that Lobster....but the wing-like sides at the backs' top might be a 'cheat' in some minds... Reminds me of cupping your hands behind your ears....even held out from ones' skull, the effect is noticable. Be a nice one to nap out in, tho.....*G* @rixthetrick...."YeHa! Git along, lil' molars!" ;) |
I have an old puffy leather lazy boy recliner. But the real issue is not comfort but can a regular recliner or any chair be too high for listening? Should it be lower? I noticed just yesterday that when I drop a pen while in my chair and leaned down to pick it up.....bass!!! Not overwhelming but nice bass. About a foot from the floor. Listening to Vandersteen Treo CTs which are about 24 inches from a wall solid brick wall, nine feet tall. |
