Best Audiophile chair around $200

One that does not have ahead rest or any backing above your shoulder level, otherwise you will be hearing echo. So look for something without a head rest.

I use my office chair, a Herman Miller Aeron. It's so comfy, & you can roll it around to get into a better listening position. Granted, they're $600+ new, but there are used ones on CL, sometimes for way, way less.

Soundchoiceav's suggestion to "Get a used Ekornes Stressless": I had one of those. It's not that adjustable. You're in a fixed position. It's harder to get in, & out of. They take up a lot of floor space. They are very comfy tho, & it might fit your needs, esp. a used one for cheap.

IMO it may very well take more $$ (than $200) to get a good
Audiophile chair; even used.

Not sure of the price but . . . this one

I removed the headrest from my Poang. For the money it's hard to beat.

Speaking of classy, thank you for the kind words...

In all seriousness, I've used a poang chair for years and love it. Takes up minimal space. You sit low like most Scandenavian seating and it provides a very comfortable position. It comes with a matching footrest. Available in many colors to match your decor. AND last but not least it's dirt cheap.

Does the headrest impact the sound? Yes, in a small way. But it's worth it.
