What s in front of your chair?

I'm condsidering putting an ottoman in front of my listening chair, but am concerned about sonic effects. However, could an ottoman be beneficial as a low frequency absorber? If so, what type of ottoman would be best? I'm thinking cloth covered with natural stuffing, i.e. wool or cotton. Has anyone experimented with this? I guess anything would be better than a glass table. I just don't want to buy something then not like it because once it's in, it will never leave(SO). Hey, maybe there's a product in this thread for some ingenious furniture maker: Audiophile Ottomans, $10,000, Chairs, $15,000.

I think this is where "we" can carry it to far. If you will be more comfortable with an ottoman, you may enjoy the music that much more, sonically or not!! Get the ottoman, kick back and enjoy!

Be sure to get the one with pure silver nails and upholstery tacks, they sound sooooo much better.

Don't worry about it. You won't hear a difference. Just buy a good comfortable scandanavian recliner and matching ottoman and sit back and enjoy.

It might have a sonic impact, but I couldn't say for sure until I know what kind of CD transport you are using and which cables you have in your system. Just kidding - hey lighten up and get an ottoman. I have a leather ottoman with my chair, and although the leather is probably reflective, I don't think it matters.
