10' x 15' sectional. Also doubles nicely a a bed when sessions last a bit too late into the evening...
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

First of all, thanks mcgiver22 for your input on how to interact with people here...I will NOT take it into consideration. On the other hand, I find most of you in the same dilemma as I am....a relax situation will definitively find you with your head resting on the chair (this means reflection from the chair itself), the head is the heaviest part of the body so any relaxing moment will mean having it resting on the back of the chair just above the ears. What I like about the egg chair is that I was going to make it with soft fabric, so it would be absorvent (the foam inside the chair works as absorvent material) in comparison to a leather chair. On the other hand, I can make a low couch, but it will not be so nice to relax on and loose into the music.....most of you suggested chairs where your head is resting on the back of it.... |
A glider rocker with gliding ottoman. I asked this question a long time ago with some humorous responses: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1052508456&openmine&zzGabbro&4&5#Gabbro |
I use a knoll womb chair with ottoman (you can see pics in my system page). My living room and my listening room are on in the same so style was important. If you're looking at a Jacobson Egg Chair, you are probably somewhat design savvy and even though the Poang may be a comfortable cheap solution, your college furniture days are behind you. Word of Warning. Do not go with an imitation / knock off. Upholstering an egg chair is almost impossible. The knock offs look great in the web photos because they usually photograph the real thing. |
