What s in front of your chair?


I'm condsidering putting an ottoman in front of my listening chair, but am concerned about sonic effects. However, could an ottoman be beneficial as a low frequency absorber? If so, what type of ottoman would be best? I'm thinking cloth covered with natural stuffing, i.e. wool or cotton. Has anyone experimented with this? I guess anything would be better than a glass table. I just don't want to buy something then not like it because once it's in, it will never leave(SO). Hey, maybe there's a product in this thread for some ingenious furniture maker: Audiophile Ottomans, $10,000, Chairs, $15,000.

Are we going to start worrying about the sonic effect of eyeglasses now?After all they are closer to our ears than our feet and contain glass.
A new meaning for Blind Listening is being born. Single blind listening could be done with monocles. We could even switch eyes. Double blind with the simple removal of spectacles or even contacts. Don"t you just love science!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us all report back. With the number of trials a group our size can perform we could develope a sample large enough to use statistics.The significance is mind boggling.
