84audio, I use a tall Lazyboy recliner. The tall back minimizes reflections coming from the rear and it is noticeable when seated. It improves the image. The focus particularly of cymbals is improved. It definiely sounds less bright because you are not being hit by high frequency reflections as much. This lack of "brightness" may bother some people but if you listen to those cymbals all the high frequencies are there, right were they should be.
