Chair


I’ve been thoroughly bitten by the couch. My listening chair that is. 
I’m forced to cut my listening sessions short due to lower back pain (chronic, result of an old injury). Looking to get something that would be comfortable enough to not aggravate the nerve in my tukhes and align properly with my speakers in a sweet spot. 
Eames replica in leather? Ikea Poang? Anything else? What do you use?

I had a stressless chair but the back extended up past my head so I didn't like it for listening to music; I've since replaced that with a real Eames chair and ottoman, and while it sits just a tad lower than I'd prefer, the sound is much better for me than with the stressless. 

Yes the Stressles are expensive and there are a couple of reasons to get one.  The quality and comfort are excellent.  I currently have a home theater chair in my listening room.  It's too bulky and the most of these chairs have a back that is too high and comes above your ears.  The "Mayfair" large Stressless is perfect and my ear lobes when seated are about 39 inches above the floor and the back is at 38 inches. 

I too was wondering if a pass labs clone would be the same as the original. 

The Eames chair has been replicated over the past 60+ years for a reason?  Add the right small cushion for lumbar support if needed?  I've looked at the Stressless furniture in the past, but just can't justify the asking price. 

@audphile1  I got the Puang with matching ottoman. Dark grey fabric.  ( I hate leather) Had to tweak it a little. For me, it was a bit too firm and laid back too much. Needed to be more upright.

First was double the thickness of the seat cusion. Un-zip and add 2" foam cut to size.

Second was glue spacers on the rear of the leg support to create a little more forward lean but this alone wasn't enough. Put a couple of books on the floor first to test the amount of forward lean.

Third, easy, the Puang headrest simply flips over to the rear moving the back seat cushion MUCH more forward and sits more upright. A small thin pillow can be added behind the back cusion if need be. For me this worked perfectly and I love the chair.  

The chair is now super comfortable. Light weight and looks nice.
