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?

The wife and I were searching for patio furniture a few weeks ago and I ran across a lounge chair at Wal-Mart that was one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in (mabe I wsa tired). It looked to have the same sitting position as the chair Gunbei recommended but cost less than $100. I'm getting one and will put it on the porch if it doesn't work out.
"I'm thinking I ought to get an Ab-Lounge as my listening chair."

Did the exact opposite. I installed a stainless steel Beer fridge behind my listening chair. Works great and has a reverse effect of the Ab-Lounge!

6 Minute Abs? Wha, huh? Nooo! You can't get a good workout in 6 minutes! 7 Minute Abs!
Great thread; just what I needed before going off to work. When us audiophiles get going, nothing is sacred including the age-old black leather chair. Tweak....tweak....tweak....

Just stay away from the Benny Hill edition. Squeaks worse than Ned Beatty.

And Gunbei, you stay away of the rest stops, OK?
