Dumb question? WHAT IS YOUR SEAT/ CHAIR?

I am starting the build of a dedicated room, and I am deciding on which seats to use. I am very fond of the Jacobsen egg seat, which is a rather tall one person chair made of fiberglass, with cushioned fabric:

My only concern is that the seat is about the same height as the top of your head when seated, so your ears are "blocked" from the rear reflections/echoes/etc. Has anyone experienced with different seats/couchs and noticed any noticeable difference? Should I only worry about what is coming from the front? Or should I be worried about losing the rear reflections?

These are very comfortable to actually recline on them, and would suit my deco a lot!

Thanks for any input

I'd look into the Steelcase Leap chair.
It's like sitting in a hand, with NO behind head obstruction.

sorry, the base model is about 800$ and is cloth. Leather with 'upgrades' can really put a dent in the party. It is considered an 'office' chair but of the first order. If I had the loot, I'd be sitting in one right now.

And YES, when I sit forward on my sofa, I hear mo/betta. Sitting back, my head is indeed obstructed from the back and partially the sides as well. That's why I typically sit forward for music listening.
