What s in front of your chair?

How about a barber chair on a motorized base? One could pull the lever to adjust the height, drive it around the room until the ideal spot was located and then retract the "landing gear" to set it on either spikes or Sorbothane feet!

Everybody above is extremely funny...
Guys, I don't mean to upset anybody's senssssityvity (OOPS the metal tweeter is acting up again), but it seems to me that the simple fact that somebody is concerned with that much of a difference in sound makes me wonder if any of us actually LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, AND NOT THE SOUND OF OUR STEREOS, excuse me - our SYSTEMS.
Just my 0.02

Lighten up, Val. A little levity (or levitation) never hurts. I'm sure we all take this seriously but it's also FUN.

I like the barber chair idea. Mine (my barber) is just a block away and perhaps I could talk him into cutting my hair in the living room. That way I could listen to music in between snips. In regard to the nose, mine is pretty big and I also have a large mole on the left side of it, that possibly effects the sound stage. I like it though (the mole) as it gives me something to look at when I am bored. I also agree with the beach chair. When I use our butterfly chair I have to lean forward (away from the wings) to get a good sound. When I use a folding canvas low backed chair (that is the property of one of our cats - Elliot's chair) I can just relax and enjoy the music. My favorite most comfortable chair is a folding wrought iron French Riviera one that has a heart shaped back, but it weighs a ton and I rarely use it anymore. Anything in between my chair and the speakers (other than rugs (over carpet) on the floor) seems to change/degrade the sound and I don't think that it's silly to be concerned about it. Afterall, it's a free tweak that's easy to remedy. My wife just asks that I don't barricade the front door with the stuff that I move, in the event that there is a fire.

Gee, I'm not sure how to take all of the responses to my query. Some are quite humorous. However, the main reason that I asked the question is because I removed a glass top coffee table that DID have a negative effect on my system WHILE I WAS ENJOYING IT!!! For those that were less than humorous or thought that I had gone too far, I feel that I must be one of the true audiophiles just for asking such a "silly" question. At least three of the responders had given some thought to the furniture at the listening position. MANY of us pay >$10k for the cables in our system due to their effects, why is it not reasonable to be concerned with what we place 4 ft in front of the speakers. Finally, as for carpet, I suggest a wool oriental carpet because the fibers are all different lengths and diameters. A synthetic carpet has identical fibers which can cause preferential reflection and absorption at certain frequencies. So it's not all necessarily hocus-pocus. I do enjoy the music and my system, but I enjoy it more when it sounds better.
