"Pollock chair" by Knoll, very comfortable.
The Listening Chair - What type do you use?
What type of chair do you use for critical listening? I've always believed that one with a low back is best because a high back would alter the sound back to your ears. But I've also realized that comfort also will make ones listening experience more enjoyable. I’m thinking of going more in the direction of chairs replacing my couch and I’m having a difficult time finding ones with low backs that would allow one to seat in for hours at a time. Is low back seating really that important? How many of you in search of the absolute sound have sacrificed a bit of sonic performance for more comfortable seating?

Hey T_bone and Pehare, Are you guys BLIND?? =D Those chairs probably have less reflective properties than the Barcelona, but.... those are oooooooooogly. I don't understand how the Pollock achieve the cult status that it did. Maybe some design person can explain it to me. Dean, You want me to pull the trigger, so your butt can sit in my new chair next time you're over right? Wrong!! You get the IKEA chairs = P. |
Hey Gunbei, Viggen & fans of comfy chairs - I found out the name of my buddies chair that is the most comfy chair I've sat in (the Le Corbusier runs a close second and I do prefer reclining when listening); it is The Ox Chair by Hans Wegner. Marco |
