looking for a chair


I found a very comfortable chair for my listening room. It is the La-z-boy 354 rocker-recliner. It is roomy and very comfortable but it has a very high back. I don't know if the fabric will absorb or reflect the sound, but I am concerned that the soundstage will be destroyed. Do you think this would kill imaging or make the system sound more forward. I can't borrow it to try but I would be interested in your thoughts or your experiences with high backed chairs in your listening room. thanks

My current chair is from World Market and is super comfy. I went with this chair because I could not afford the Le Corbusier LC2 or LC3 chairs, and this chair has similar "functionality", as I call it. But in my mind, these type of chairs are the best for listening and relaxing, since they are low back and I am not a tall dude.
