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.
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.
