I listen from Wassily Chairs. In addition to being a beautiful and classic design (see this Wikipedia writeup), their relatively low seating position results in my ears being at an optimal height for my particular speakers (Daedalus Ulysses), and I would expect any effects they might have on sonics due to reflections to be very minimal compared to many other kinds of chairs.
Also, the Wassily chairs are very easy to re-position when my wife and I are both listening.
Various knockoffs of the Wassily are available at much lower prices than the genuine article shown at the first link.
Definitely a point to consider. In my case, though, this is probably not an issue as the central third of the rear wall is open to another room, as well as being about seven feet from the listening position.

If you have not treated your back walls, then a high back is likely to sound better.
