What is your listening chair?

I am sure this has been discussed some time in the past, but I am curious what kind of chair audio nuts are using out there...
Just sold two leather recliners and bought two leather Poang chairs from Ikea. They seem to be better for listening to music.
What say you? What is your listening chair? Why do you like it or not??

Put a Poang Chair in the room, take one step backwards in sound quality. Put two Poang Chairs in the room. Take two steps backwards in sound quality. Hate to rain on anyone parade.

geoffkait. I have agreed with you on various topics in the past, but respectfully, disagree with you on this one. I have tried a few chairs, and the poang is the best for me. No blanket statments, whichever chair floats your boat.

OK. I don’t mind you disagreeing with me, cyclops. But try taking the Poang Chair out of the room. Now tell me the sound isn’t better. Better yet, take it out of the house completely. Been there done that.

My last recliner look like it had been in WWII. I was actually proud of how damn shabby it looked. (no one else would ever sit in it)  Alas I had to toss it.
Now my latest recliner is narrow, leather, and powered.
Powered sucks.
Mainly because I am constantly adjusting it. If it lasts two years??
I have it in the middle of the room.
My life and stereo are one.
