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?

thanks.......mitch

And when choosing a listening suit, make sure it has a cool slogan like these:

Mitch4t,
You are so right. How could I have ever considered using a listening suit as a tone control?!

If I had the dosh, it would be the Karuselli chair and matching ottoman:

Since I don't, it's the Ikea Poang.

For a real cheap and comfortable alternative check out the LaFuma recliners.
