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

Interactive Health makes The Perfect Chair and it is available from several retailers, the Relax the Back store being one of them. Shop around for different options (material,colors,etc.) and prices. This chair made a tremendous improvement in my listening room from both a comfort and sonic standpoint. It was one of the best purchases I made. Thanks to Mike L for making us all aware of this type of chair for several years now. A picture of it is in my system description.

I absolutely love the Eames chair but it is too low and, in my opinion, a perfect "listening chair" cannot have a headrest. It must stay at shoulder height, and it must be positioned so that your hears, when seated, stay aligned horizontally with the tweeters.

Check out the Berkline 088 I really like - slim and comfortable.

Thanks for all the help… I appreciate it. I’ve looked for “the” perfect chair for a long time. We’ve been building this house for 4 years now. The first time hurricane Isabel racked it – so we had to start over… don’t ask about insurance… it’s enough to make a preacher cuss – not a nickel…

Anyway – we’re finally getting close so I’m trying to eye-up my chair for my room. I have drawn and redrawn this house so many times… If anyone has any pointers as for setting up my stereo room – I’d love to hear it….

Here’s what I have…
My dedicated stereo room (not as fancy as most I’ve seen here); this is my sanctuary – as I’m sure most of you can relate. It is the place where I can visit my planet – especially when my wife’s mother and sisters come down for a visit... There is a media closet and small hallway separating the room from the rest of the house. The room sits at the north side of the house facing east. All 2x6 walls (all exterior and most interior walls).

It is 24ft deep by 18ft wide with a 10-foot ceiling – there is a 4ft crawl-space under the house including my stereo room. The floor joists are 24” open wood floor joists. The ceiling has a 2’x1’ bulkhead running around the parameter. We are using Radiant floor heating so we’ll have 1.5 inches of light-weight concrete on the floors. I had the framers cut the sub-floor between the listening room and the remaining house. I’m using spray-foam for all exterior walls, roof, and ceiling in the stereo room. The wall separating the stereo room is actually a double 2x4 wall with a 1” gap – so it’s theoretically a 9” thick wall that will have spray-foam insulation also. There are several large windows on the east wall it is 118”x 96” plus flanking 32x72 casements on each side – west wall is 96”x 96” with flanking 32x72 casements also – the south wall has a 48x60 sliding window…

A separate electrical panel is run from the original 350-amp double panels to the media closet. This panel is dedicated for my stereo room and the media closet for the theater equipment – which will be in our family room when I can afford to do that...

This is only a 2 bedroom house. We don’t have kids but when folks visit they usually stay a few days. The other bedroom has its own bathroom etc…

Anyway - the stereo room will consist of only my stereo and one or two chairs… I have the Pipedreams Model 15s powered by VAC Avatar Super using the Pipedreams Crossover to 2-amps Acoustic Reality eAR 1001’s for the subs (rated at 1200 watts each I think) – Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Transport & DAC. I want to setup a coffee table with a built-in monitor so I can listen and surf – and because I like to listen to the Satellite music stations.

I guess I could email someone the drawings or 3D renderings of the what it “should” look like.
Thanks again for all the info…
