Gamut Lobster Chair

@dcpillai,

Yes, if you are concerned about hearing precise fidelity at the listening position from most normal sized Speakers with typical low, midrange, and tweeter configuration. It has been recommended, suggested, and tested with results to come to this conclusion (don't ask me, Google is your friend). Not to say that you can't sit higher or lower, your just not hearing the best spatial qualities. I think giant array speakers, those with 6 foot bass columns and the same size for mids and tweeters, listening height would not make a difference, and I would also say the same for magnepan speakers as those types of speakers in most cases have the same drivers literally floor to speaker height. 

Thanks for the constuctive input @audioquest4life .

I wonder whether I can seek your input on another point, i.e. I currently use a highback chair and while the sound is good (to my heairng), it seems to be even better (i.e. better separation and clarity of instrumentation) when I cup my ears. Why is that? 

Appreciate your feedback.

What came first...The Lobster or the Egg?

I took the plunge! Gamut Lobster chair has finally arrived and is with my dealer. Will be trying it out next week. Is it going to be good or will it turn out to be an expensive mistake? Honestly don't know. But will certainly report my experience soon. Fingers crossed! 

I am happy to report that I have had the Gamut Lobster chair for a month now. Siting in it the first time was a surprise / shock as it was so incredibly different from the plush IMG recliner that I had previously. The chair has much less padding and I got used to it over the next few days. I find the chair to be very comfortable now and any fears of back pains have receded away.

Does it make a difference sound wise? Yes it does, at least to the ears of those that have come to try it out. Quoting my system page " The sound (in particular the sound stage and clarity of instruments) seems to have improved, as far as my ears are concerned that is :-) What an absolute relief! "
