Best Audiophile chair around $200

I've even been tempted to drill some 1" or so holes across that [now exposed] top wooden rung to see if it will 'air it out' even more but I haven't bothered yet. If anyone does, let us know.
Happy Lissn'n.

I removed the headrest from my Poang as I never used it. Also have considered lowering the back a bit to air it out as you say.

Informative Thread!
But what about the chair material? In particular regards to the area around the listener's head and/or headrest.

eg: When using a headrest, would a fabric material or wool/cotton provide less reflection of sound around the listeners ears than a leather/pleather/vinyl material ??

I have a pleather recliner with a headrest that is fantastic (milo baughman reproduction). The headrest is awesome for naps/relaxing, etc, but I think it probably slaps at least a slight echo of sound back to my ears, and thus distorts the sound.

NONE!!

I'm moving my poang chair right now. I ripped the top board out a month ago in an attept to make it more comfortable but the arm rest are too high (why are most chairs like this?).

I also believe no headrest is best. I'm switching chairs and will report back

Nothing with foam, certainly.
