Gamut Lobster Chair

I remember calling about this chair....nope...let me check....it was email.

yep....just looked it up. They wanted 5500.00  

Needless to say I found another chair.

While reviews are scarce, the lobster chair has reviewed very well from a comfort and listening perspective. See here: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/impressions-the-gamut-lobster/

 In relation to the headrest, this is the relevant extract from the review:

"Nor was the headrest neglected. Indeed, in many ways its design was key to getting audiophile-level performance out of the chair. As GamuT notes in its Lobster Chair product literature, "Normally you can't have a neck rest while listening to music, because you get a reflection from the material behind your ears, distorting the sound. But GamuT has created a unique acoustical damping material, resulting in an extremely effective sound treatment, while maintaining the Lobster Chair's breathtaking beautiful design and comfort. Furthermore the shape of the wide headrest also prevents reflections from [the] wall behind the listener [from] affect[ing] the soundstage, which eliminates the need for sound treatment behind the listener." In other words, there is no leather in the neck and head zone, but rather a fabric that acts to properly dampen the potential acoustical reflections in that area.

I can tell you quite categorically that it works extremely well."

What do you think?
 

Spouse & self have a pair of IkyYah Poangs’....she can drop off and sleep through warfare on it. *L*

Our cats like them as well, so their price is very attractive in that regard....one reason ’floor standing speakers don’t live with us in the residence....

We had an earlier feline declawed, but won’t put any or another through that. it’s not ’fair’ nor pleasant to have your fingernails pulled out either.

We can replace a chair, or reupholster it. And for 5~6K$. I’d rather eat lobster than sit in one....;)

The average person Jerry goes through a lot more pain in their lives than a cat does from being declawed. I have adopted 5 cats over the years, and had them all declawed, because while I love them, I also love my furniture. It's a small price for them to pay for a life of love and luxury. I have never had one that seemed to suffer much from the experience.

Not that there aren't good reasons to study the lobster.

 

Fascinating!
