What is the best 2 channel listening chair?


I've been using a Ames lounge chair for years, it looks and feels good ...but it's a little low...l was ready for an upgrade. I was reading you should avoid chairs that are higher that the shoulder, but l will choose comfort first,nothing too bulky,no theater seats.I recently purchased a Human touch pc610 (optioned out).So far its been fantastic.Any input or ideas on this subject would be appreciated.

I've been shopping lately for a new solo chair..the stressless chairs are ok but way way overpriced for what you get,they seem rather stiff as well...the Herman Miller chair ive had and thought it sucked, it did keep its value though..I like for the money the Barcalounger pedestal chairs..I never noticed a diff in room sound with a high back .

Mine is a dedicated nearfield studio arrangement.  Happenstance (there are NO coincidences) found a marvelous condition, small-body (5'5" to 5'9") La-Z-Boy recliner at a thrift store for $25.00.  The rear top cushion lands atop my head, assisting the wanted deadening of the back wall, in front of a tall bookshelf.  It being a recliner with limitless range of reclining positions, even with the footrest out, there is little added mass in the sweet spot, between me and the presentation, always a good thing.  (Try removing coffee tables and footstools.)

I often stream deep into the night, and simple adjustments add comfort, best sound and delight.  I chose to add a lumbar cushion that just helps the overall ergo aspect and added comfort.  La-Z-Boy does address this also in their many designs. 

A close audio friend owns a Hudson Valley winery and has an amazing, fully designed, dedicated sound-room in the nearby Guest House.  Upon my last visit, he sported two overstuffed love-seats in the listening area that were eating up the sound.  Our solution:    More Peace, Pin

 

roxy54...the topic is "listening chair."  His love-seats are still available for showtime and the camp recliner easily folds and stows...ready for his go-time in vinyl mono, two channel and 11.3 surround.  Pin
