What's your chair ?


Recently due to a change in speakers, I am looking for a new chair for my listening room. My previous chair (the very comfortable Bentley chair and ottoman from Ethan Allen) affords me a height of 39" at my ear. I need to find a chair, preferably with height adjustment, so that my ear is more or less at the height of the woofer in my new speakers which is an unusual 42". Since this is an important factor in integrating the sound from my speakers, I was wondering whether my fellow audiophiles had any suggestions. Also curious as to what chairs you do use, since this is quite an important factor in our audio lives.

Hi Mike,

My zero gravity "Perfect Chair" is being delivered today. Since you have had yours for so long- do you find that you can only recline to a certain point before the listening experience suffers? How far back from the full upright position do you recline?

The newer model is a little larger around the head area than yours (although it still doesn't "cup" around the head) so I'm hoping it will not have a negative impact. I ordered mine in the micro-fiber suede with the interactive memory foam. The micro-fiber suede should help in eliminating any reflections near the head area.

I'm hoping it is as comfortable as you say it is.
The Perfect Chair is made by Interactive Health and is available at several store and web locations. Just make sure you pick a store or website that offers all the different material, color, accessory, and memory foam options. Some stores offer the chair but only in fixed material and color combinations. I found Home Office Solutions to offer the best price, options, and service. Google "perfect chair" or "zero gravity" chair and you will have plenty of options.
