What is the best 2 channel listening chair?

nonoise,

I have tried that kind of wingback before, and he shape creates a tunnel effect. I get what you're saying about your neck, and I strongly suggest this chair. I have the same problem and it is incredibly supportive of the back of your neck, and way more adjustable than any Stressless chair. You would not regret it. Of course, the headrest is powered.

What the heck is an "Ames chair"?

Are you sure you aren't talking about an "Eames chair"?

@roxy54 ,

Understood. Kind of like cupping your ears which exaggerates the sound. But the ones I've been looking at aren't rounded as much as that comfy, well broken in chair that mrod45 posted, but wider at the top and not as enveloping.  

So many choices.

All the best,
Nonoise

Dear @desktopguy my comments re. V1 Leap - having owned them as well - is due to my experience only. I had several of the V1 and a) they are very bulky and heavy, b) the v2 not only lightened the chair, but it enhanced some of the ergonomic comfort, they are cooler (more breathable) than the very thick seat and back of the V1, "in my opinion". I can sit comfortably in the V2 for hours (too long, in fact!) unlike most chairs. You are 100% correct, the standard model does not include a headrest but one is available. As I began, I noted "aesthetics aside". 

In my opinion. 😇

My favorite listening chair is a three cushion Flex Steel sofa. Just the right amount of comfort - not too firm and not too soft. The back hits just above the top of my shoulders. With a padded ottoman, the center cushion makes a comfy place to listen for extended periods, plus enough room on the sofa to share listening with the wife or a friend.

Sometimes, during late night listening, when I get tired, it's nice to be able to curl up on a comfy sofa and crash for awhile and let the music play on.
