Listening chair suck-out


Oh brother. I've been placing acoustic panels here and there in my room in order to deal with various reflection-based frequency anomolies, with remarkable success for the most pary. I use an SPL propped up with a tripod to the listening position, which happens to be in a comfy stuffed leather chair The chair eats 165Hz! About 25dB of it, to boot (from about 75dB down to 50dB). If I put the mic at the listening position sans chair, there is no suck-out at all. It is definitely the chair. Anyone have tips for building a marble throne?

Tell your spouse that your chair sucks and go buy something that you like.

Before you go crazy....you must have some other chair in the house that you could swap out, just for a day or two to see if there really is an audible difference.
