Where do you sit?

Wow! Beanbags are pretty popular. I may have to investigate those. My recliner has a relatively "high back." I'm sure that isn't the best thing to have a few CM right behind my ears. I imagine a beanbag would alleviate that, hence their popularity!

I haven't sat in a beanbag chair in years, but aren't they kind of noisy if you shift around? Seems it would be distracting. Besides, I think I'm too tall to sit in a beanbag these days...

To Vdub: I'm 6' 1" and 51 years old. You need a bean bag filled with premium beans and not regrind or shredded foam. I'm also don't figit.

Vdub: You really only notice the "bean" noise when you are stoned out of your mind. For those who have not "kept on trucking" (granted that they do not abuse Nutmeg) I can't imagine this being a problem. I could never get into the "bean bags", but do have a pair of the original "umbrella" chairs, which are lousy for listening due to the side wings. My "all time" favorite listening chair (in the near field as mentioned above) is a French Riviera folding wrought iron chair with a woven seat, fold up arm rests and a low heart shaped back (also woven). The only downside is that it is on the heavy side, but it is also extremely comfortable as well as acoustically correct for this application. I used to have a chair fetish, but moved on to vintage Kirby vacuum cleaners (the ones with thick aluminum housings and red bags:-).

Well, I'll consider the beanbag thing. I do have a barber chair, though. I suppose it would make a good listening chair, but it's way the heck too heavy to lug into the living room. I guess I'll continue sitting on the overstuffed loveseat and strategically positioning my two dogs in the room to break up any errant reflections. Now if they could only push buttons and twist dials...
