What do you sit on?


As my system has improved I am spending more time listening but my "sweet spot" is not as comfortable as I would like. I'm looking at new chairs, recliners, etc.  This is one topic I have not seen discussed on Audiogon. What kind of chair, perhaps what specific manufacturers are favored by experienced audiophiles? Maybe a little crowd sourcing in this area might turn up some overlooked gems in the way of listening room furniture.

Since my little Maggies, as set up, image incredibly well, in or out of the sweet spot and being line source, seating height isn't critical, I am most happy with my three cushion Flex Steel sofa. It is medium firm and comfortable for long listening secessions. I usually sit in the center cushion, but if company is over or wife joins in on the session, the  cushions on either side make a comfortable and good listening seat as well. As I do a lot of late night listening, it's nice to stretch out and relax for a bit, when I get tired of setting and still be able to enjoy the large full scope of the performance, without everything being sucked into a box...Jim
