Your listening chair


I was viewing a members system here on the 'Gon and he has a very near-field listening position. He has a listening chair and a foot-rest in front of the chair. A responder mentioned that the foot-rest is a bad idea soundwise.

This is a photo of his seating position SEATING POSITION

I listen from a loveseat. I'd love to get an ottoman to prop my feet up on or even invest in a recliner. I will be sitting 15 feet from my speakers.

Does an ottoman or a recliner present any problems for serious listening sessions?

Gunbei, LOL...excellent recommendation, I ordered 2 in case I have company!
I agree - Comfort rules . . . I have an ottoman and have never noticed a concern with acoustics.
GUys, our friend and fellow A'Goner Marco [Jax2] has that very chaisse lounge in his listening room. Another A'Goner in Toronto, Canada has one as well.

Here are some cheaper knock offs, Mitch:
