Gamut Lobster Chair


I have found posts on this forum relating to the Stressless and Eames lounge chair as good listening chairs, but not so much on the Gamut Lobster Chair. Has anyone here tried the Gamut Lobster Chair or better still own one? If so, would appreciate your sharing your thoughts / experience with regard to the Gamut Lobster Chair. Many thanks.

That movie turned out to be a documentary, so I know the chair is out there somewhere.

That Ikea chair is awesome! Had one for a while. Light, easy to move and position, super comfortable, ottoman. The seating position is slightly more reclined than ideal, but overall just an excellent chair for the money.

 

The Lobster is a joke. Wrap around wings? Who needs ambience! Just dumb. Seriously doubt that curved shape is good for the back. 

 

I'm still looking for the perfect chair. Spotted it in a movie, maybe someone here knows where to buy it?

 

you had me at Lobster...

my beloved Stickley recliner may go to the grave with me.....soft, supple, large curved drum heads.... " I just wanna bang on the drum all day "

I use a leather couch to listen from, but am very aware of the reflections that it adds when I rest my head against the back cushion. Sometimes it can be beneficial to my hearing, though far from perfect. Sometimes I will put a thin fabric pillow behind my head, but it gets away from me and is annoying.

Ha! I mean with my hands on the end of the arms. I just took the bait. Well done. Hard to think while listening to Spike Jones. 23 Skidoo. 

We have (chairs that ) rock & roll Dining room chairs that are pretty comfortable. I put one in the sweet spot (in front of reclinder) Works Great and makes for a better drum chair @wsrrsw because your feet are in the proper position for the bass drums and high hat (-: 😀

If I want to relax, i sit in the recliner (Lazy Boy) and listen.

This is great for me. About twenty degrees back and it's great for hours and I can drum on the arms. Never tried any if the fancier midels

I've been through four different listening chairs over the years, including a Stressless copy (still not to cheap) and then last year I bought this power recliner after trying many. It is perfect in every way. It has a power headrest, and the arms open for storage, plus you can plug in your phone, and there are lights in the cup holders and the base of the chair. It is so much mure comfortable and adjustable than any other chair I've had, and it's affordable.

You might be on to something there, dcpillai.

With the sweep of the headrest area, it might have an effect like cupping your ears, adding some aural "embellishment" to the experience? Great looking chair.

Being a gear head, I'll take a Recaro custom upolstered.

LIke your setup. I use a PL HP also. Rockin some old  50's RCA 6L6 G's in mine. If you haven't yet, try something in the 2 inner preamp tubes for some audio fun.

"The Gamut Hi-Fi Lobster Chair is the world’s first music listening chair. Its ingeniously-crafted headrest incorporates a special material designed to better reflect sound around your ears."

Never heard of these before. That description is scarier than an image of @ebm eating a 2lb lobster.

You don’t want your chair to reflect sound to your ears! Cheers,
