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
