looking for a chair

While we're talking "good" furniture, I think that there are many Midcentury designs that fit the bill nicely:

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman (by Herman Miller)
is probably the last stereo chair that I'll ever own (once I get enough $ to buy it!):

Also nice is the Breuer Wassily chair:

And the van der Rohe Barcelona chair (ouch on the price):

and the Alto Arm Chair:

and the Alto Scroll Chair:

If you need any help convincing the significant other to let you spend upwards of $3k on a listening chair, you can take them to the Museum of Modern Art where most of these chairs are on permanent display.

I'm not affiliated with HighbrowFurniture (I wish), but He's a nice guy, so if any of you decide to purchase from him, at least tell him that Joe Cunningham sent you, maybe he'll let me put something on long-term layaway.

happy listening.

I use a small love seat size sofa. Then there is room for two. It is usually the cat more than my wife. The cat also likes to hog the sweetspot :-)

I was looking into a "relax the back chair". Buy it online to save tax. Retails for $1500. You can see it on mikelavigne's system pics.

I use an "office" chair which pneumatically adjusts in height and is just high enough to rest my upper neck/lower head on the back, which is quite comfortable and does not reach my ears to reflect anything. Best of both worlds.

I bought the Power Recliner Shiatsu Massage Chair with separate ottoman at Sharper Image. Not only is it comfortable to sit in, it gives a first-rate full back massage as well. If the music and mood is just right, you can fall asleep if you're not careful. A bit pricey perhaps, but not when compared to the equipment.
