Your Listening chair

I use an Ikea Bentwood rocker with a footstool that matches. The chair back comes up just enough to provide neck support but doesn't block the sound. The chair rocks just a bit if you want to move with the music. The foot stool is not attached so sometimes it's useful to slide it forward and sit real close if Im doing an A B test. The only disadvantage is that it only seats one. cheers steve

Whatjd, looks like this thread may give you some business. I've been considering purchasing a couple Wegner chairs. I especially like the lambswool over bent oak chair (not sure of the #). My wife also thinks it's the most comfortable ever, but I have to present it as a design piece rather than "for audio". At $1k, I HAVE to present it to myself as "for audio" to justify. The local dealer couldn't understand why I would need a low back chair to "listen to the radio". Can I also get a brochure? (auger99@juno.com)

I have a solid oak adirondack chair, which I bought unfinished and stained black to match my equipment, speakers, and rack, in my own listening room (no waf). And I bought a small pillow for a beach lounge chair from Pier 1 . I find this very comfortable, and have even fallen asleep in it. The height is perfect for my Klipsch RB-5's on 24" stands.

Whatjd, Have you tried the Van Der Rohe Barcelona chair? I've never seen one in person, but it looks like a good chair for the hifi. Can I trade you for a Herman Miller? I've got some cables...

Gthirteen, I have tried the Barcelona and it is better to look at than sit in....but very attractive. The Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer is actually a better sit. For less money the old Siesta Chair by Westnofa...from Norway is very good, as are some of the Ekornes Stressless series.. but..they are too high for me..and the back has impact on the sound...not unlike cupping your hands behind your ears. I still prefer the Eames chanir and the Hans Wegner rocker.
