The BEST Listening Chair u’ve ever had or saw??



We are building a house and I’ve been looking for the “Perfect” listening chair/recliner etc…

I want something that is;

• very comfortable but “not” too big or too cushiony
• has a head rest but not so wide to block or reflect the music as I’m listening
• reclines
• strong & sturdy
• has arm rests
• leather – steel – teak – mahogany

Maybe I’m crazy but I’ve been looking for several months to find the perfect chair for my listening room. A love-seat could do if it isn’t too big. My listening room will have only 1 or 2 chairs and my music system… that’s it – it’s my sanctuary.

Anyone out there have a particular listening chair they use? I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
David

Backsaver, look no further, I have 3 of them and they are good looking, super comfortable and conversation pieces. If you like them contact me and I will get you in touch with the guy I got mine from, he was great to deal with and had great prices - much lower then any where else I saw. Here is what they look like.

If you want to spend the dough look at Ekornes

I am still digging my Ekornes I bought new in 1991. It was $1,100, but at 15 years of age, it is still perfect and functions beautifully.

Highly recommended.

I have a customer who has something called "The Perfect Chair", and it's the most comfortable place I've ever parked my caboose. Not that I'm a chair connoisseur by any stretch; I'm unfamiliar with the others mentioned here.

Amen for the Ekornes! I bought a "Stressless Prince" model about 15 years ago, and I still love it. The only "problem" is that it is so comfortable that I often fall asleep while listening to music!
